you are (very very) probably right about that the game was drawn before h4. but
this is not the point. it was easily drawn after h4. which means that h4 is a
mistake even if kramnik would have drawn the game otherwise, because it gave
away the advantage that white had.
i didnt mean to say DB would have avoided h4. i just wanted to say that DF
played a bunch of weak moves up to now, and that i do not know of any moves
which are as bad that DB2 played in the match against kasparov.
