45. Rd2 {Kramnik has been trying to make progress for some time without
success. He moves his rook to d2 to try to penetrate down the h-file.} Bxb3 {
Caruana calculated this line to be a draw.} 46. Bxb3 Rxb3 47. Rd5 a4 48. Ra5 a3
49. Ke5 Kf7 50. Ra7+ Ke8 $4 {A truly unexplainable blunder. After this Caruana
is completely lost.} (50... Kf8 $11 51. Ke6 Rb6+ 52. Kd7 Rb5 $1 $11) 51. Kf6
Rb6+ 52. Kg7 (52. Kg7 {The position is objectively winning for White, but I'm
sure many players might have played on a few more moves. Kramnik himself was
surprised that Caruana resigned, as he still has to prove the win.} Rb3 53.

Qxa4 {The game so far has been a fascinating struggle in the Sicilian. White's knights are fighting the pair of bishops and both kings are rather exposed. It is ahrd to say who is better, but it does seem that playing with Black is easier.} 30. f5 $2 {A very strange move. Even if it doesn't lose immediately, which it does, it is so antipositional it is hard to justify.} Re5 $1 {The rooks is very powerfullly placed on e5 and e4 is hanging. Giri was trying to provoke this move, missing Black's resources.} 31. Re1 Kh8 $4 {A horrible move in every sense.} (31... Qa8 32.
