2021 World Championship Match, Game 10

 What happens when a player has lost two games in a row to horrific blunders and is now three points adrift? Well, what happened in round ten was the dullest game of the match so far. Both sides were, for obvious reasons, content with a draw: Nepomniachtchi because it had stopped the rot, Carlsen because it left him three ahead with just four games to play.

The game itself reflected those desires: another outing for the Petroff, and a lot of exchanges on the e-file after Carlsen played a line that forces the queens off. Very few winning chances for either side resulted.
