h6 15. a3 Nc7 16. e4 Ne6 {Game drawn} 1/2-1/2
Unfortunately for the spectators Leko agreed to the draw Kramnik was offering
with Ne6. GM Larry Christiansen was analysing an interesting continuation on ICC
before they agreed to a draw, which was the following line:
17.Be3 Rc8 18.Nxf7 Kxf7 19.e5 Ne4 20.Nxe4 dxe4 21.Qxe4
which leads to the position:
[D]2rqr3/pb2bkp1/1pp1n2p/4P3/3PQ3/PP2B1P1/5PBP/R2R2K1 b - - 0 21
What do the comps say here? Is white better and what is the best move for black?

Andy
PS: I thought about visiting the playing site today which is a 5 hour trip by
train from where I live, but I was to tired so I decided against it yesterday
evening. I'm very glad I made this decision, and I think I lost my interest in
watching a World Championship game live at the playing ground.
