Thanks for the link, George. I had no idea that the K+R+P versus K+R
endgame had been so well-studied, or that the outcome was so highly
dependent on the specific position.
Based on game 6, it looks like Carlsen isn't one of the "hoi polloi" you
mentioned. Anand gave up a pawn to force a rook/pawn endgame, which he
apparently thought would be a draw. But Carlsen kept trying to win, and win
he did.
