Vladimir Kramnik Quotes
After such a tough match you need time to recuperate. You cant play such a match in the same year; you need at least a couple of years. - Vladimir Kramnik Quotes
An impatient person plays differently than a more patient person. - Vladimir Kramnik Quotes

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 Quotes
Chess is an infinitely complex game, which one can play in infinitely numerous and varied ways. - Vladimir Kramnik Quotes

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 Quotes
I dont like to show my emotions at the board, not because they might give something away to an opponent, but because thats my style: I like to keep it to myself. - Vladimir Kramnik Quotes
I feel that my relationship with Kasparov now is much the same as it had been before the match - good. As for his reaction, well it cant be nice to lose your title after so long, but he was very generous. - Vladimir Kramnik Quotes

My way of playing is very different and Karpov plays very differently as well. - Vladimir Kramnik Quotes

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 Quotes
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 Quotes
The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponents playing ability is comparable, does the game develop. - Vladimir Kramnik Quotes
