More quotes by Vladimir Kramnik
Chess is a matter of daily training.
Vladimir Kramnik
The Berlin Defence suited my strategy for the match. I had a defensive strategy - Actually, I had in my pocket some other sharper stuff to fall back on - but first I wanted to try the defensive strategy with Black and it worked so well.
Vladimir Kramnik
I go to bed at 4 a. m. Almost all chessplayers do.
Vladimir Kramnik
In games against humans, you often win because the opponent blunders a piece, and you can often survive when you do it yourself. Against the computer, you make only one mistake - the last one.
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
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
Chess is so deep, I simply feel lost.
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
For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.
Vladimir Kramnik
Objectivity consists in understanding that the only one who never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything.
Vladimir Kramnik
Every month I look through some ten thousand games, so not as to miss any new ideas and trends.
Vladimir Kramnik
With the Berlin I was able to set up a fortress that he could come near but not breach.
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
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
For us chess players the language of artist is something natural.
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
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
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
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
When I was a child I liked the games of Capablanca, and later I was captivated by Alekhine's play.
