I can add that the main move that Fritz cannot find in a reasonable time is
23...Re2

It seems that Kramnik blundered by Qf2 when Qd1 was the right move.

Here is some analysis by Fritz8 on A3000

I guess that kramnik's team considered Re2 as bad based on a similiar analysis
and did not give much time to analyze what happens after Re2

Maybe they used more than one option and saw a bad score for 23...Re2.
