I think that the GM made mistakes but only positional mistakes and not tactical
mistakes.

He should play Bc6 and black cannot put the knight at c5 like in the game.

I did not say that white cannot win but if a grandmaster can draw it in
tournament time control then practicaly it is not a easy win and it is lodical
to have an evaluation of practical chances for draw.
