It is always amazing to non-chess players when someone remembers their game, but even non-masters do this... for Kramnik something like remembering the game and variations (especially with use of a board) is incredibly trivial, he is so much better than a silly trick like that :)
-
it's astounding he can remember the game he's played and all the variations, no matter the position at the time. he narrates in an accessible fashion.
-
he said "rarely" . He didn't say he never plays 1. c4.
-
kramnik is very good at explaining these things, it appeals to all different chess levels in my opinion.

wait, why did he place the black rook on that odd square? a7...
-
no 1 game he did c4
-
Fischer, Morphy, Capa, Pillsbury. I think they have plenty of bones already.
-
Most pro chess players can memorize thousands of games.

No one is surprised when a musician remembers all the notes and chords in a song and can play them in order. In the same way a good game of chess also has rhythym and structure that comes naturally to chess players. To someone like Kramnik chess is a lanuguage that he speaks and understands with near perfect fluency.
N.B. In addition to being world champion Kramnik is also the strongest blindfold player around.

Fischer does not play catalan... in fact he rarely starts with any move other than 1. e4
