A quiet game that ended with a result that suited both players. Carlsen gains more time to recover from food poisoning, and Praggnanandhaa can rest from his tense tie-break from the previous day.

Carlsen decides to play another move, which also turns out to be good. 13... a8b8  14. a3d6 Maybe it's better to postpone this capture, but White doesn't have much anyway. 14... c7d6  15. a1b1  15... a6b5  16. a4b5  16... c8d7  17. b5b6  17... d7c6 [%c_effect c6;square;c6;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Black has solved all his problems. 18. b6d8  18... f8d8  19. f3c6  19... b7c6  20. g1g2  20... b8a8  21. b1b6  21... d8c8  22. f1c1  22... d6d5  23. c1c2  23... f6d7  24. b6b1  24... d7c5 This is an invitation to a draw as this move allows simplification. 25. b1c1  25... a8a5  26. c3b1  26... c5e6  27. b1d2  27... c8a8  28. d2f3  28... e5e4  29. d3e4  29... d5e4  30. f3d2  30... e4e3 All the roads lead to equality. 31. d2c4  31... a5a2  32. c4e3  32... e6d4  33. c2a2  33... a8a2  34. c1c4  34... c6c5  35. c4c5
