WC Kramnik resigned this game with black in a simul this past weekend in Paris but to me it look that perhaps it is a draw .Any computer analysis on the final position. Desportes,G (1910) - Kramnik,V (2770) [D36] Simul, Senat Paris, 11.11.2000 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.d4 d5 4.Nc3 c6 5.cxd5 exd5 6.Qc2 Be7 7.Bg5 g6 8.e3 Bf5 9.Bd3 Bxd3 10.Qxd3 Nbd7 11.0–0 0–0 12.Rab1 a5 13.a3 Re8 14.b4 axb4 15.axb4 Ne4 16.Bxe7 Qxe7 17.Nd2 Ra3 18.Ndxe4 dxe4 19.Qc2 Nf6 20.Rb3 Raa8 21.h3 b5 22.Rbb1 Rad8 23.Qb3 Kh8 24.Ra1 g5 25.Ra6 g4 26.h4 Rd6 27.Rfa1 Kg7 28.g3 Nh5 29.Ra7 Qf6 30.Qd1 Qf5 31.Rc7 Rf6 32.Qe2 Qg6 33.Ra6 Rd8 34.Raa7 Rf3 35.Qa2 Rd6 36.Re7! [36.Nxe4? Qxe4 37.Rxf7+ Kh6] 36...Nxg3 37.fxg3 Rxg3+ 38.Kh2 Rh3+ 39.Kg2 Rf6 40.Nxe4 Qf5 41.Rxf7+! 1-0 Kramnik said after that he did not see this move[41.Rxf7+ Rxf7 42.Rxf7+ Qxf7 43.Qxf7+ Kxf7 44.Ng5+ Kf6 45.Nxh3 gxh3+ 46.Kxh3 and they said that with a pawn more white is winning but to me Kf5 might draw. So did he resign a draw position ? Pierre
