That is partly because you regard all inaccuracies, such as Nd6 in the last Carlsen-Anand game, as a blunder. You denote everything with "??" - and not "?" or "?!" - which is not standard for chess literature. This may be your own definition - fair enough - but accept that it is not the common usage.

This was the 65th move of a blitz game.
Thanks Gordon for the info.
I expect a lot out of a guy that runs around telling everyone he is 2800 and makes 5 million a year and is worshipped by some fans.
I am thinking about changing my mind and not expecting as much out of the 2800 GM.

Would you use a 2800 Elo engine for analysis?
