That's putting it mildly. Kramnik blundered terribly with 32...Bxf8??
(instead of 32...Kxf8), but Topalov completely missed his chance to win
with 33.Rxg4+! (instead of 33.Qg6+?) 33...Bg7 34.Qc7! and Black must
give up his queen to stop mate: 34...Qf1+ 35.Ng1 Qg2+ (else 36.Qxg7#)
36.Rxg2 and Black can resign.

After 49 moves Kramnik has an extra rook but Topalov has 2
advanced passed pawns.I am not strong enough to calculate if Topalov
has enough counterplay to hold the draw. A very exciting game! E-JAY

Kramnik ended up winning in about 66 moves; now he's up 2-0. I wonder
if Topalov has the resiliency to come back from such a gut-wrenching
bang-your-head-against-the-wall might-have-been. Anyone know what the
clock situation was around moves 32-33?
