More quotes by Vladimir Kramnik
I go to bed at 4 a. m. Almost all chessplayers do.
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
When I was a child I liked the games of Capablanca, and later I was captivated by Alekhine's play.
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
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
I don't like to show my emotions at the board, not because they might give something away to an opponent, but because that's my style: I like to keep it to myself.
Vladimir Kramnik
Every top player has his own style, just as every painter has his own personal signature.
Vladimir Kramnik
Intellectual effort gives me enormous pleasure
Vladimir Kramnik
Only he, who penetrates into the depth of the game, can express his personality in it.
Vladimir Kramnik
When I speak of the beauty of a game of chess, then naturally this is subjective. Beauty can be found in a very technical, mathematical game for example. That is the beauty of clarity.
Vladimir Kramnik
Every month I look through some ten thousand games, so not as to miss any new ideas and trends.
Vladimir Kramnik
No - I'm quite calm inside during the game for most of the time - not 100%, but generally very calm.
Vladimir Kramnik
It is rightly said that the most difficult thing in chess is winning a won position
Vladimir Kramnik
Objectivity consists in understanding that the only one who never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything.
Vladimir Kramnik
Now, two years have passed and the situation is completely different: no one wants to organise this match.
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.
Vladimir Kramnik
Chess is a matter of daily training.
Vladimir Kramnik
Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game.
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.
