He use 14 min for this move (13.a4), I think he was out of book here. All
previous moves where done within less than 1 min.
Fritz was out of book at 9.Kf1.

I thought when wathing it that the timeusage was fully normal here.
Kramnik had prepared 9.Kf1 and had the answer for all 'normal' moves after this
until 12...Bf8. It was just as watching a GM-game when one player have prepared
a novelity.

Well, my exact thought when I saw 12...Bf8 was that this was an operator move
because they feared that Kramnik had played the hole game in advance.
