435152: I don't see how you can claim that the better player did not win. Kramnik won despite the fact that he forfeited a game. I think he deserved to win.
bengood24: That's probably the best argument against cheating. He could have lost the first game and should have done no better than drawn it and in game two, he was just dead lost.
