The commentator then asks Anand something along the lines of "did you think through all of these complications?" and his response was a curt "no, I was thinking of what to eat tonight."
"Yeah… so, do we have questions to the players?"
oof... such high stakes and he just missed the move. Really gotta feel for him.
The question was "did you try really to calculate [...]?" which is quite a bit different that "did you think through all of [...]?". The latter is implicitly asking if perhaps he was not successful at seeing through the variations (which is a reasonable question). The former is asking if he even tried, which is not a good question.
He had come out of the opening with a significant lead in time, and near the end he spent a very long time thinking, so much that he became behind on time. Of course he was calculating variations. It is quite reasonable for him to give a snippy answer to that question.
I was up at 5am to watch that. Embarrassing. Other great players (e.g. Kramnik) have lost tough matches with a lot more class.
I can understand being frustrated by that question. Reporters for a chess championship should be more understanding of what it's like to play a tough match.
