More quotes by Vladimir Kramnik
In the current FIDE World Championship, on the knock-out system, weaker players have good chances. Those, who in a long match would practically have no chance, here may creep through.
Vladimir Kramnik
Playing rapid chess, one can lose the habit of concentrating for several hours in serious chess. That is why, if a player has big aims, he should limit his rapidplay in favour of serious chess.
Vladimir Kramnik
It made a big difference to my match stamina. I couldn't imagine I would have been so energetic during the match - it really gave me a welcomed extra boost!
Vladimir Kramnik
With the Berlin I was able to set up a fortress that he could come near but not breach.

Chess is like body-building. If you train every day, you stay in top shape. It is the same with your brain - chess is a matter of daily training.

Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.
Vladimir Kramnik
Objectivity consists in understanding that the only one who never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything.
Vladimir Kramnik
The development of beauty in chess never depends on you alone. No matter how much imagination and creativity you invest, you still do not create beauty. Your opponent must react at the same highest level.
Vladimir Kramnik
But with the Berlin, I was able to allow him to get near, but not quite near enough, and I knew where to draw the line with the fortresses I had set up.
Vladimir Kramnik
Part of my preparation for the World Champion match against Kasparov was to be ready for his off-board tactics. I did not to react to them at all. Once you start thinking about these things during the game, even analysing them, you're caught.
Vladimir Kramnik
I made a better decision in choosing my team. Sure, I had a bigger choice of players to choose from - but I couldn't have asked for a harder working group of players who did an incredible job.
Vladimir Kramnik
I am convinced, the way one plays chess always reflects the player's personality. If something defines his character, then it will also define his way of playing.
Vladimir Kramnik
It is rightly said that the most difficult thing in chess is winning a won position
Vladimir Kramnik
For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.
