there is a very good reason you dont understand it
this is because i spelled the word wrong
:))

shaking for the MONEY..
which means he did not play normally because he was worried to receive the
draw(and therefore the title and prize money)
therefore you have both rooks unmoved, a bishop on f8 and a knight on h4
it was absurdly passive, hoping to draw and therefore clean up the money

then he apparantly was in a state of catatonic shock when he played on with ..40
R-H4..which was now in the middle of a mate in 2

had Leko played normally and not been frozen by the thought of the money (like a
deer in the headlights of an oncoming car..waiting to be hit)..he would be
Champion today

you do not have to be a rated Fide GM  to realize you cannot win or even draw
against a player as powerful as Krammink  from this position
only a chessplayer..
