Kramnik, Vladimir – Carlsen, M.

2783 2014 · Draw · View this game on Lichess

Vladimir Kramnik, World Champion from 2000 to 2007 and one of the most theoretically prepared players in history, invites Carlsen into the Nimzo-Indian — a territory where his encyclopaedic opening knowledge is a formidable weapon. Carlsen, crowned World Champion just one year earlier, faces the legendary defensive solidity of the man who famously dethroned Kasparov through sheer positional discipline. A generational clash and a fascinating duel of chess philosophies.
