First game of Boring Chess - Anand vs. Carlsen

The first game between Carlson and Anand has happened 1. Nf3 d5 2. g3 g6 3. Bg2 Bg7 4. d4 c6 5. O-O Nf6 6. b3 O-O 7. Bb2 Bf5 8. c4 Nbd7 9. Nc3 dxc4 10. bxc4 Nb6 11. c5 Nc4 12. Bc1 Nd5 13. Qb3 Na5 14. Qa3 Nc4 15. Qb3 Na5 16. Qa3 Nc4 1/2-1/2

So the first game was a very boring game. The rule is: Safety first. Maybe it was just about testing the opponent? Kasparov once noted that Anand is a boring player, I am not good enough to decide this. Here is a grandmaster analysis, but he did not have to analyze very much.
 

So we did not learn very much. Maybe that the queen should not take on b7 as always?
