Oh come on. Grandmaster draws happen all the time. Lot of grandmasters don't
play aggressively with the black pieces, and just try to equalize. That's
because they know they're starting with a disadvantage with the black pieces.
The guy who drew this game definitely started with a disadvantage. Makes good
chess sense. he got a draw. Now people are talking about it. Or, he could have
scored a big ZERO.  I'll take 1/2 over 0 anyday.
