More From Vladimir Kramnik
- "The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent’s playing ability is comparable, does the game develop."
- "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 can’t be nice to lose your title after so long, but he was very generous."
- "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."
