Nice novetly by Kramnik! [14...bxc5

From now on Kramnik started to think some five minutes per move. I think the text move shouldn't be the only one to equalize, though Black must pay some attention due to White's space advantage.
19...Bc6!?
Giving the c-pawn for long-term compensations. This reminds, for instance, of some of the positions in the Bc4-Ne2 line in the Grunfeld. Black's safe development and pressure on the c-file is enough to compensate for an extra c-pawn. [19...Be8!?

I think after this move, White has no winning chances at all. [22.0-0!?
should be a better try, though Black should be able to draw by force, somehow.]
