More quotes by Vladimir Kramnik
Every top player has his own style, just as every painter has his own personal signature.
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
For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.
Vladimir Kramnik
Chess is an infinitely complex game, which one can play in infinitely numerous and varied ways.
Vladimir Kramnik
I don't know whether computers are improving the style of play, I know they are changing it. Chess has become a different game, one could say that computers have changed the world of chess. That is pretty clear.
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
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
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.
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
No - I'm quite calm inside during the game for most of the time - not 100%, but generally very calm.
Vladimir Kramnik
Chess is a matter of daily training.
Vladimir Kramnik
With the Berlin I was able to set up a fortress that he could come near but not breach.
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
Objectivity consists in understanding that the only one who never makes a mistake is the one who never does anything.
Vladimir Kramnik
Intellectual effort gives me enormous pleasure
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
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
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
When I was a child I liked the games of Capablanca, and later I was captivated by Alekhine's play.
