More quotes by Vladimir Kramnik
It is rightly said that the most difficult thing in chess is winning a won position
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.

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
Intellectual effort gives me enormous pleasure
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
Chess is so deep, I simply feel lost.
Vladimir Kramnik
Only he, who penetrates into the depth of the game, can express his personality in it.
Vladimir Kramnik
Look at the catastrophic record Vishy Anand has against Garry Kasparov. Kasparov managed to beat him almost everywhere they played, even though Vishy Anand has belonged to the absolute top players in the world for fifteen years. This difference cannot be explained purely in chess terms, there must have been some psychology.
Vladimir Kramnik
With the Berlin I was able to set up a fortress that he could come near but not breach.
Vladimir Kramnik
For us chess players the language of artist is something natural.
Vladimir Kramnik
Now, two years have passed and the situation is completely different: no one wants to organise this match.
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.
