I think i can see the idea (even 2 ideas) of this move.

If it was from long time computer thought, then i assume that Rh7 or Rf7 wasn't considered necesary/effective.

I can see that many little differences can be very critical, but it takes a lot of work to get through it all. I, am not doing that work, more than a few momments, from diagrammed positions.

A computer should make it much easier.

I'd say there is plenty stuff going on here right now!

To keep it simple White has the advantage. White's in control.

If Rfd2 had not been played now, i think there may have been some pitfalls lurking.
And that is what makes human chess interesting.
I'd say that even at the high levels of Carlsen Anand games, there is sometimes some nice entertainment, like what i just came across now:


Anand indeed, seems to sometimes keep things alive. But so does Carlsen in his ways.

Ouch! Carlsen made a serious gaffe to allow that x-ray! Excellent display of technique by Anand.
