Kramnik: My Life & games

by Vladimir Kramnik, Iakov Damsky

Overview

Since he first burst onto the world chess scene in 1992, displaying a maturity of play far beyond his sixteen years, Vladimir Kramnik has been tipped as a future World Champion. Still only in his mid-twenties he has won numerous tournaments in many countries, and is one of the very few players regularly to hold his own with Kasparov.

This book, Kramnik's first, describes his life and chess career, beginning with his unusual childhood. It features more than 50 of his best games, deeply annotated, plus numerous additional games and game extracts, including some from quickplay and blindfold events.
