I've stopped going to tournaments that are not rapid play or blitz timed because often long play tournaments end in draw after draw after draw and often quickly (Grandmaster draws) Perhaps only receiving HALF a point would make the players play more often for a win? For me, as a humble spectator the long game tournament IS in crisis . . . .
He played great creative chess, racking up alot of wins in a row, and it looked he could have reached 2800 club again, but he played safely to secure the win in the last 2 rounds.
Chess made this guy a millionaire... and he pretty much owes everything to Nimzo's "my system" (which karpov does too), btw in which nimzo says "top players arent secretive", and gives all his ideas away.
Kramnik wrote a dodgy book and made a dodgy dvd both without any real insights to his thought processes, just some variations and non helpful comments.
Kasparov taught this guy a lot, and he is still petty and in competition with him
like he said, nothing to lose everything to win. Nakamura is very happy Kramnik pushed onward and threw away a draw. Only way Nakamura would of lost the game is not seeing the only move to make near the end of the game with his king. Naka was very please to end Dortmund with 2 wins in a row, to say the least. Even a grope down by tsa would of not put him in a bad mood! Next time Naka, go to europe at least 7 days before the start of a tournament!
Fantastic! Kramnik is such a nice guy, such a sportsman, such a strong player! His result was amazing and his attitude towards the game with Naka was inspiring! Love that guy!

Kramnik's ideas are not for commom person...
His deep understanding smashes any chess engine... it will take more 100 years to create a chess computer which may think like Kramnik...

Kramnik, the best ever!!!
