Am I missing something or he could kxd2 RH2+ kC3, marching the king over to eventually allow the rook to capture the pawn and draw? Obviously don’t RxA2 first because either way you lose the rook and the game.

Yeah I'm also confused. It's his turn. Why not take the pawn on d2?

He’s playing as black, you have your annotations wrong. Here’s the sequence: 1. Kxe7 Ra8 (protecting the queening square, he doesn’t give a check on a7) now you will either give up the rook now with 2.Rxh7 followed with Ra7+ skewering the king and rook how you mentioned above. You don’t have time to reconsolidate with the king on e7. Or you give some checks and when they run out you give up the rook when pawn promotes

He must hate this line, even i hate this line, and i am kak compared to him, he must have played this line millions of times, magnus do uhate it ? If u read this

Am I wrong or he is getting a little worse over the course of time? I might be wrong, but I think that this thing of him losing a match used to be almost impossible, and now I see every now and then him losing
