ChessBase commentary does uplift the lacklustre playing action G1. Beneath the final position diagram: "And that was all she wrote." Notice no piece is ever captured, and only one pawn exchange happens, and then Draw by repetition. It's the nature of their game. Three-fold repetition is more like 14 moves not even 16 moves in practical sense. In contrast, a Baseball pitcher absolute theoretic minimum pitches would be 27, or 24, in perfect game where every batter lines or pops out.
Caissa -- "Carlsen did return and could be seen clasping his hands and bowing his head, almost as though in prayer. I suppose appeasement of Caissa can never hurt." Post-mortem Gms_take. In historic Shatranj Draw territory would not be expected below a goodly 30 Moves.
"The thicker the grass, the more easily scythed." --Alaric, king of the Visigoths
