Game 5: Carlsen Wins.
http://en.chessbase.com/post/chennai-g5-carlsen-draws-first-blood, ignoring Draws, the Win score is 1-0 with five games down and seven to go.

As to Joseph DeMuro's Game 4 reference, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_and_pawn_versus_rook_endgame is
important because it applies 

practically unchanged not just to small 
64 squares, but also to regular rectangular 80, as in Capablanca's

http://www.chessvariants.org/large.dir/capablanca.html, and to large 100 of 10x10.  

It could be added that the hoi polloi Orthodoxy, having seen these endgames 

so many times ritualistically and  pedantically, they know at a glance in chorus: 'Draw' or 'Play'.
