i'm not sure why that should be funny. i have seen no analysis which proves that
the position after b2 is in fact a draw. besides, it looks completely lost,
which is also the reason why kramnik resigned - it's quite natural to assume
that it is lost.
if it is in fact a draw, it is still very doubtful that kramnik would have been
able to hold the endgame as obviously a lot of precision on the white side is
required (unlike the famous DB-kasparov game where kasparov missed a perpetual
check).
