1)There is no contradiction between being a lier and
being a friendly and peaceful man.

2)Kramnik also admitted that in the second game that
he lost he went for the sacrifice because he looked
for the beauty.

I thought also about that point when I posted:
"I think that kramnik could win the match in case
that he wanted to do it."

It seems that even if we assume that Kramnik did not
lose on purpose there was a more important target for
him than winning the match.
