More quotes by Vladimir Kramnik
Only he, who penetrates into the depth of the game, can express his personality in it.
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
For us chess players the language of artist is something natural.
Vladimir Kramnik
At some point he seemed to lose all confidence trying to break down the Berlin Wall. He was still fighting as only Kasparov can, but I could see it in his eyes that he knew he wasn't going to win one of these games.
Vladimir Kramnik
On the whole, the life of a chess professional is not as easy as it appears at first sight. One needs to devote some ten hours a day to chess and to everything connected with it - physical and psycholgical preparation.
Vladimir Kramnik
Objectivity consists in understanding that the only one who never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything.
Vladimir Kramnik
In chess one cannot control everything. Sometimes a game takes an unexpected turn, in which beauty begins to emerge. Both players are always instrumental in this.
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
Every top player has his own style, just as every painter has his own personal signature.
Vladimir Kramnik
When I was a child I liked the games of Capablanca, and later I was captivated by Alekhine's play.
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
An impatient person plays differently than a more patient person.
Vladimir Kramnik
In this respect, I suppose I'm the total opposite of Garry [Kasparov]. With his very emotive body language at the [chess]board he shows and displays all his emotions. I don't.
Vladimir Kramnik
Now, two years have passed and the situation is completely different: no one wants to organise this match.
Vladimir Kramnik
Chess is so deep, I simply feel lost.
Vladimir Kramnik
Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.
Vladimir Kramnik
My very first book was a games collection of Anatoly Karpov. On the whole I was attracted by positonal play with some tactics, and already then I was aiming for universality.
Vladimir Kramnik
For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.
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
I believe every chess player senses beauty, when he succeeds in creating situations, which contradict the expectations and the rules, and he succeeds in mastering this situation.
