It's the moves that count, not the rating. Every chess player has lost (or in this case, played a draw) against lower rated players. Take a look at any open tournament. There will be upsets in nearly every round. Two draws = not a downfall.
  

Don't check me with no lightweight stuff.

For reasons best known to himself, he elected to steer the position into a madhouse

Kramnik on the downfall

I am just looking at some games of the Qatar open and noticed Kramnik drew his first 2 games. In the 1st round he faced a 25xx opponent with black and in the second a 24xx opponent with white. 

Man, Kramnik drawing with white against 24xx ... unbelieveable!
