I happen to find the final quite interesting. Most people want games that remind
them of Tal, or some other tactical player, but positional chess is not less
interesting. It is just much harder to understand. I saw grandmasters arguing
non-stop on who was better in the 10th game. Some claimed Kramnik was
practically winning, others thought Leko was clearly better. That just showed
how complex the game was.
