Game 8 not looking too good for the champ.

Why?

While engines favor White here with a pawn up, serious chess players know that such a position with unlike bishops is a draw. White can't make progress. Positions where no progress can be made although there is a clearly positive static evaluation are sometimes difficult for engines.

Now that Bc2 by Anand was really far from optimal...

So which move was better in that drawn position?

h6, and +1 is maybe draw for you, but certainly not for everyone...

It is enough if it is a draw for anand.

It does not need to be a draw for everyone.
I believe that anand calculated and found that he is sure that it is a draw
and I know that you cannot trust evaluation of engines in opposite color bishop endgames..

I can add that h6 is not the move that is suggested by the best endgame engine

Displaying "+1.XX" does not mean that the position is won. In this case, with unlike bishops and no way for White to make progress, it is simply a draw but the engines have a hard time to see that.

You seams to be able only to think binary. Not draw != win. On the other hand, having no change in terms of score even after next 10-15 moves doesn't really mean it's a certain draw. Following you supreme logic means that the game is a certain draw even before it started.
I suggest you try the following experiment. Run a MC from a given position with and if you get that white wins less than 60% you can claim draw.

I can add that h6 is not the move that is suggested by the best endgame engine

Something with that level of pruning certainly cannot be the best endgame engine .

Displaying "+1.XX" does not mean that the position is won. In this case, with unlike bishops and no way for White to make progress, it is simply a draw but the engines have a hard time to see that.

You seams to be able only to think binary. Not draw != win. On the other hand, having no change in terms of score even after next 10-15 moves doesn't really mean it's a certain draw. Following you supreme logic means that the game is a certain draw even before it started.
I suggest you try the following experiment. Run a MC from a given position with and if you get that white wins less than 60% you can claim draw.

I invite you to come back to that discussion after you have learned more about this type of chess endgames, and after you have also realized why current engines evaluate it as +1.XX.
