For the first time I watched a game live. It turns out their is a lot to keep on top of during a live broadcast. It is a bit of a feat trying to decipher the kibitzing and enduring a game that lasts a couple hours is not easy.
Carlsen is the underdog by rating and experience and many kibitzers remarked how he doesnt live up to the hype. For the love of God people he is only 14. He is clearly a gifted kid and player. Please let him live his life and give him time to advance in the chess world.

6. Be2 e5
7. O-O Nc6
8. d5 Ne7

12. b4 axb4
13. Bxb4 f5 (F5 flanking the lever and hoping to take the half open file)
14. Nd2 Kh8

19. dxc6 bxc6
20. Na3 fxe4 (Two sets of doubled pawns for black will definately not pay off in the end game)

34. h3 Qe6 (h3 establishing luft but losing the tempo)

41. Qf8+ Kh7
42. Ne8 Black resigns (Nf7? a mate on H8 or H6, the king cannot move and blacks queen cannot check on e5 but g5 frees the king)
