I wonder how often Leko dreams about that final WC game with Kramnik. Fairly regularly, I suspect.

Such stories of people missing the right moves do make me feel ever so slightly better about my own mistakes over the chessboard!
Somehow I analysed all my opponent's possible moves on move 30 except the one he played (actually, I also missed 30...Ba4), and then promptly blundered when a win was probably still possible.
