This endgame was taken from the the book
"Modern Chess: move by move" by Colin Crouch, published by Everyman Chess.
On page 310, I quote from the author "Through sheer stamina, and of course excellent chess understanding, Carlsen has somehow performed some magic in a "completely drawn game" opposite-coloured bishop endgame.
