Kramnik obviously had to play this in order to keep some winning chances. I dont think he saw a forced road to a win at this moment. There should have been no forced win after 23...Ra5 with the idea Rd7,Rd4 to get a rook ending with rook behind passed pawn. Topalov probably made a lot of mistakes. It is not an easy task to draw if you are slightly worse against Kramnik.
