One Mistake After Another . . .Anand v. Carlsen (2.0 - 4.0)

Carlsen (4.0) v. Anand (2.0)

"But then um . . . I don't know; one mistake after another and then it goes." says Anand.

After Game 4 proved to be another uneventful draw, Anand's near perfect moves seemed to give one the impression that he will successfully defend his title.  But disastrous end games in Game 5 and 6 suggests otherwise.  Maybe fatigue?  Maybe stress?  Maybe too much esteem from Games 1 - 4?  Anand fades in endgame.
