Kramnik line Accepted Queen G.

Hi all: This is how it can be done.Following Kramnik-Deep Fritz, Bonn 2006: 1.d4 d5 2. c4 dc4 3.e4 b5 4.a4 c6 5.Qc2!? Qd4 6. Nf3 Qc5 7. Be3 Qb4+ 8.Bd2 Qd6 9.Nc3 b4 10.Rad1!? bc3 11.Bc3 Qf4 12.Be5 Qh6 13. Bc4 Nd7 14. 0-0 (now white fully developed and mobile) a5 15. Rc1 c5 16. Qb3 e6 17. Bb5 Ngf6 18. Bc6 Ra6 19. Qb5 Be7 20. Bf6 gf6 21. Qa6 and white up comfortably up over +2. AHA/Fritz-10 Athlon 2Ghz,april 2007. After 2.- dc4 the machine rates equality (0.00)so the accepted queen gambit is not really a gambit unless a second pawn goes (5.Qc2). Typical computer "fool move" is 10. Rad1 after 9. --b4 black looses tempi via b5-b4-bc3(Qd4--Qh6) and is posionally lost on his queen side via full mobility of white's bishop pair, Rc1, etc.Its simple. Playing via head calculation with a "small and enduring" advantage -risk margin 0.5-(in fact, waiting for a human mistake of the opponent under tournament conditions) is hopeless and that is why Kramnik c.s cant figure it out.The machine makes no calculative mistakes and knows no fatigue. After 9. b4 10. Rd1 and then bc3 the "coach" warns that white is lost over -2 risk margin. Ignore him. See the -2 dwindle when the depth grows and tilts to + for white 4-5 moves later. ALL the best!

Move order

21. Qa6? The bishop is guarding this rook so this seems like a blunder.
