In fact, it was used by Kramnik as a tool to re-establish material equality, thus having traded off into an endgame that Fritz evaluates as equal but in which Kramnik had a win by force. It was this lack of understanding by Fritz that this was a losing endgame that was the problem, not the discovered check.
