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.
