Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, known as "MVL", is one of the world’s foremost Najdorf experts and a fearsome attacking force at the elite level. Across the board, Vladimir Kramnik — World Champion from 2000 to 2007 — is a master of positional chess who turned strategic precision into an art form. This 2017 encounter in the Scotch Game pits two radically different chess philosophies against each other: French firepower versus Russian cold-blooded technique.
