Even if I decided very strongly to not get carried away, I suddenly feel it might be the best game I could think of if I make some unbelievable sacrifice. But then I think that it just goes to prove that I'm not even a normal decent player. But when I see Kramnik do the same thing, that makes me feel quite funny! Anyway, He's doing a great service for chess by that demonstration. He deserves to atleast win the match now, atleast only just. One gets the impression that he knows how to be in control if he needs to, and knows his trade, just like anyone doing their job efficiently. We'll see! S.Taylor
