Count the LPDOs #chess

Risk: blogging about a Kramnik game before it has finished.

However, with twenty four moves having been played, I don't like Kramnik's position today, against Andreikin. He seems to have no compensation for the pawn: in fact, to quote Yasser Seirawan, black both has a pawn and the compensation.

The critical moment seems to be the position below.

I have highlighted in yellow the LPDOs. White played 17 Rfc1 which is either a sacrifice or an oversight, since 17…Qf6 hits two of the LPDOs.

An oversight, I suspect?!
