In this respect I suppose Im the total opposite of Garry. With his very emotive body language at the board he shows and displays all his emotions. I dont. – Vladimir Kramnik
When I speak of the beauty of a game of chess, then naturally this is subjective. Beauty can be found in a very technical, mathematical game for example. That is the beauty of clarity. – Vladimir Kramnik
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
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
