I for one don't feel that we should have gotten to the tiebreakers. I think that Kramnik rightfully proved that he is the superior player.
HOWEVER, I feel very lucky to get to witness at least four extra games between the two.
kramnik has not really won yet - he is a victim - but not yet a victor.
however if kramnik proves himself via the knockout - then yes he wins.

that's some deep positional maneuvering.
