I agree. There was still a little way to go for Kramnik. Given that Kramnik was way down on time (about 3 mins) compared to Fritz, I think this alone would have been a legitimate reason to play on. Your time trouble is something your opponent can use in their favour: it's part of the game. Otherwise, why have clocks?
