Nxf7?! and fully expected 19.Bd5!, it's sound and is Kramnik's style...so I don't understand why he made such a bold and not fully calculated sacrifice? I guess in his early calculations, he must have though Kg2 was winning?! The N on d7 held! This is nothing short of a disaster! The past two games only show human fraility, _not_ machine supremacy! Kramnik Wake Up!
