Kramnik Fights Back to Win Game 3, Leads 2.5-0.5 

08.10.2002 
To be a Grandmaster you must know how to fight every type of battle. To be 
a world champion you must learn how to make your opponent fight on your 
battlefield. Vladimir Kramnik came out of an inferior position to outplay Fritz 
in a tough five-hour duel.  Read more  - on  ChessBase's  website. 

 My take on this game? I watched most of it on  Chess.net.  Black played a tame  
 opening - and even got doubled KBP's on the f-file. But the computer over-  
 reached in a possible winning attempt ... and left a pawn on f6. (Something a   
 human would  never  do!)  Kramnik scooped up the pawn and cashed in the  
 full point in a nearly effortless display of flawless technique.
