In the second round of the 15th Unive Tournament that takes place in Hoogeven Kramnik beat Judit Polgar.

The 21st move appeared to be crucial in the game, Polgar perhaps had to risk and take f4 paw. Kramnik'с chances would be preferable, though. After 21…b5 22.cxb5 Bxd5 23.bxa6 White got an advantage which turned out to be decisive.
