You must be thinking of another game.  Game 6 was a drawn rook and pawn ending.
 And I do think you need to give more than one example to support your claim.
If it was truly a 150-point bug, it should be easy to find several positions.

It is strange that Stefan makes no mention of such a serious bug in his
post-match report.
