I'm eating soup so a bit hard to contribute. Comp says equal but for sure I wouldn't like being black now.

Not sure I understand White's idea here. How's he going to try and extricate himself from that pin and recapture on g4?

In fact I'd go further and say Black looks busted. What's he doing about h5.

Klick?? Castlerock? Enders?

I am back (briefly) it looks like all going well for Kramnik is this rapid torture  Wink What is happening in this game? You'd think Topalov needs to win it, although I suppose in rapid theres always a chance to win with Black
