Absence of Kramnik took place after organizers prevented Kramnik to use the
bathroom during the game!

Well, I predict this will be the end of the match. Kramnik wanted to play
Game 5 today and will no doubt walk out if the forfeit is upheld.
Meanwhile, I assume Topalov would walk if the forfeit was not upheld (the
1972 Fischer-Spassky match sets the precedence that not showing up results
in a forfeit).

Sad...
