Viswanathan Anand missed a knight sacrifice and allowed his opponent to capture on d5 with checks, leading to a king-and-pawn endgame he must carefully defend. The commentators note his visible upset at the tactical miss.

He needs to give up the knight. He doesn't give it up. Oh, he started the check. That's okay. King g3, but no, he had to take on e5. He takes it now, but allows rook takes d5. He missed this. And look at Vishy. Rookish Vishy's reaction is like, shit, he's upset.
He's upset. Oh no, now we're going for a king and pawn endgame that Vishy is the one that has to be like a little bit careful to hold.
