I think that it is a mistake not to tell kramnik about it. Kramnik should know that he missed a draw otherwise he may make again the mistake of resigning in a drawn position. Kramnik should not think about the previous game before the match is over but he should learn not to resign unless he is sure that he has no chance. He has no way to learn if he knows nothing Uri
