Kramnik would have to do so again twice, win the two remaining to invoke tie-breaks. There are four wins and six Draws. Crazy Queen 64 squares always inspires. She is logical from her very inception over 500 years ago. The logic is that Knight, Bishop and Rook go to mutually exclusive squares. That fact should be emphasized more than it is in instruction to youngsters learning Chess. Yin and Yang, thesis and antithesis are no more compelling. Centaur(BN) or Champion(RN) would ruin the pattern. Mediaeval minds, more intuitive than ours, understood this thoroughly and immediately, and so implemented Queen(RB), capturing in one piece, of the three, the two (R,B) having unfulfilled continuations. Hence the name Mad and Crazy Queen, OrthoChess 64 squares, as a practical matter, still the one appearing widely perceived for near-perfection or state of the art.
