Well, a famous mistake of this type is from one of the 1951 Botvinnik-Bronstein world championship games where Bronstein, in a simple endgame, had one king move to win and another which lost (in about 7 ply). He thought for about 45 minutes then played the wrong move (and, as I remember, put it down to simple absent-mindedness). I think that situation is probably the closest analogy to the Kramnik blunder. Alastair
