 No way. DF can't open the position without getting the worst part of it, due to
the 2 bishops Kramnik had. In turn, Black has no reasonable way to open the
position without getting serious weaknesses on light squares. A draw is the only
outcome in this kind of position.

 If you want to criticize the players, then criticize Kramnik for playing the
Queen's Indian, and DF for its inability to take advantage of that   :-)
