I was following this game on the sesse supercomputer site. Carlsen seemed excessively cautious but later said he had confidence because he knew that this endgame was winning for White since he was a schoolboy!
Final Position
White wins in 29 moves after 80…Ke4

Comments
- By defeating Maxim Matlakov in round 10 of #IOMchess, Magnus Carlsen extends his unbeaten streak to 100 games!
- "Anything you can do..." @MagnusCarlsen brings in the full point minutes after @FabianoCaruana had done the same. But, boy, did he make heavy weather of it... and he has half a point less than his big rival
John Saunders - My nomination for game of the round is Dahl-Kolbus in which the lowest rated player in the event, playing on next to bottom board (2nd from left in photo), played a superb combination to win his game. Well played, Baard Dahl!

We have our first win of the last round Oparin-Amin If you look at the position at move 20 you would think nothing happening. Im willing to bet black exchanged queens and relaxed. Then came a school boy tactic. Horrors!Comment

Anton capped off a fabulous tournament (playing all the who's who) with a marvellous positional masterpiece in the last rounds. Look at the efforts made to keep the passed C pawn and his opponent trading everything to try and get all the pawns off. But no - the shocking and exhilarating Ne6!! Bravo!!Comment
