Default Kramnik's Undeserved Reputation

I certianly don't understand the subtleties of the game to the level that
Kramnik does! The only games of Kramniks I've taken a close interest in
have been those in the match against Deep Fritz. chess.fm's commentary
(by which I mean mainly GM Fedorowicz's, especially when he was answering
questions `Why doesn't he just play [some plausible-looking move]?') did a
good job of making those games very interesting and much more comprehen-
sible than they would have been without guidance..
