To my mind, the issue isn't so much whether he was winning or not, but whether
he was wise to agree to the draw and not pressure Kramnik some. The initiative
was on his side, and forcing Kramnik to play under such circumstances would have
been really a punishing situation psychologically, even if he didn't win.
