For me, the game froze. I waited for a move about half an hour.

Looks dead drawn to me. This means that even if Topalov wins the last game no-one, except possibly his mother, will consider him the winner of the match as one of his points was a present from FIDE.

i think this match has shown that they need to fight it out more ...

to simply have a game or two to decide a sudden death is not good enough - they need a real slugfest.

So if this is a draw, means Kramnik has advantage, since having white pieces next. But if draw again, then what?... blitz?

I think that Kramnik has shown superiority consider that in reality he is at least a whole point ahead. He ought to have two more opportunities with white. but unfortunately only one. We saw his reluctance to draw today, I think tomorrow's game will be very aggressive.
