29.Nxd6 Ra6 30.Nxb7 dxc4 looks horrible for us. We cannot recapture with bxc4 because of Rb8 or Rb6+ winning our knight.

I think our position after Nxd6 is worse.

The problem I see with cxd5 is that we would have the worst pawn structure ever.

I'm rooting for Peter Svidler! I like his commentary on chess24 and he's a down to earth kinda guy.
If he doesn't win I hope that Viswanathan Anand or Hikaru Nakamura take it.

Peter Svidler is a great commentator and I like him but I think he will be a long shot. I like Anand too but he has already been world champion so I will root for someone new.

I hope Aronian, Nakamuru or Giri will win. I like the playing style of Aronian and Nakamura. Giri plays a lot of boring chess but I like his personality. Giri has the best record of any of the players against Carlsen. Nakamura plays exciting chess but has done very poorly against Carlsen. If I have to make one choice I will choose Aronian. He plays interesting chess and seems to be a relatively though challenge for Carlsen.
