Absolutely! I think Kramnik never realised the danger of 26. Qe4, considering it merely a somewhat ad-hoc save (I am not sure Fritz had h7 on its mind with the move, but nonetheless, Black should have
noticed it immediately). I (utter amateur) also think Kramnik got a spare move of sorts with 29. Rf1, enabling him to respond 29… Qa7. But I think that was his undoing… IMHO, it put him in a position of power to attack the pawn and the king, and advance the Queen side pawns,
that he didn’t notice the added threat to h7 from the Knight. 31. Nd4 set off alarm bells in my head, but I guess Kramnik felt he had tonnes of room to manoeuvre towards the Qe3 that he was looking at into the
future. But what do I know ;-).
More than I do. I know as little of what you’re talking about as when
Dennis Redmond talks about video games.
