In that over-excited jumble of words you appear not to have realised that blunders happen and conspiracy theories are unnecessary*. The first game of Fischer versus Spassky 1972 is your starting point - I remember reading something along the lines of 'in the audience at so-and-so chess club** a kid suggested that Fischer played ... Bxh2. Everyone laughed. He played it' - and there are literally dozens, if not hundreds, of similar blunders through history. That said, if I'd had Kramnik's position after move 25 or so I'd have offered a draw with a suggestion that all participants, including the computer, retire to the bar ...
