88 move draw there was some serious thinking going on in that game ..

Neither one made  a blunder that would have cost them the game..

How do you know? Do you?
(Most likely their errors have canceled
each other).

To play a game at GM level and not lose vs another GM , id say they were
thinking hard .
Don't you agree ?
Yes they probably made mistakes BUT i said they did not  BLUNDER and
lose the game.
They had a draw , or did one lose ?

Pedro seems to think he could have won with 74...Kc6, but that seems
to be a draw as well.
On move 28 Carlsen does not take the draw. He is a top GM and he is
willing to take some chances to win against a 'normal' GM.
His endgame play, like many child prodigies, is very very good.
