Kramnik took a lot of risks in round 4 of Tal Memorial 2018 and landed in a strategically lost position. In order to complicate the matters he sacrificed a piece. Completely incorrect sacrifice. Boris had a simple win. Instead of exchanging queens he tried to go for a mate! Kramnik escaped with a draw. Such games show us that sometimes even top players can play very bad quality chess! :)
