Aug-18-05   Taimanov Lines: Uhhh kramnik can handle very well also the french!!!!!!!!
Aug-28-05   Garry Power: This game shoudnt be here, <chessgames> should erase it together with all short draws( under 15 moves)
Sep-24-05   Professor X: I think I' am going to write a book called "Drawing with kramnik".
Oct-02-05   Athenea: zzzzzzzzzzzzz...........
zzzzzzz........
zzzz.....
zzz....
zz....
Oct-02-05   Athenea: Everyt time i cant sleep early i watch one of these Kramnik boring draws, and they make me sleep almost inmeadiatly.
Oct-02-05   notsodeepthought: <Athenea> OK, you've made your point - "Kramnik is boring." I may even agree that his games may sometimes (definitely not always) be boring, but there is no need to dig up every Kramnik draw in this database and post essentially the same comment.
Oct-03-05   Uranium: 8 moves???? come on..

*Yes, watching Vladimir Kramnik play chess IS more boring than watching uranium turn into lead.

Oct-03-05   Professeur Y: The fact he was 17 years old when he "played" this somehow makes it worse. It could have been predicted that if he didn't show some fighting spirit at that age, he most certainly never would. Makes me wonder: does he like chess at all?
Oct-03-05   Uranium: No <Professeur Y>, he doesnt like chess at all, as a matter of fact i keep asking myself, why the hell he keeps playing???

In this particulat case he would have agree a call by telephone, and would have saved time to the people, to himself and to the tournament.

by the way <Professeur Y> i saw some messages from someone with a very similar name to yours, it was like professer X or something like that.

Oct-04-05   Professeur Y: <Uranium> I know, I saw "professor X" yesterday and laughed. My alias comes from the title of a book by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, a famous French writer.
Oct-04-05   Virus Malaise: Kramnik and his drawish season...seems like it will never end
Jan-11-06   Conde de Montecristo: This is the kind of masterpieces that Kramnik will be remembered for.
Jan-11-06   ughaibu: And that's the kind of post you'll be remembered for. We all dig our own graves to some extent.
Jan-11-06   HannibalSchlecter: Some events make it a rule that such draws are not allowed. The players have to play at least 30 moves or something like that, with the exception of a forced repetition. We need more of this kind of rule because we can see by the comments we agree this kind of chess is bad for the game.
Mar-24-06   jamaicanNM: why is this a notable game??
Oct-22-06   Bufon: <fgh: I think I' am going to write a book called "Drawing with kramnik">

Well, it seems time to start such book :-)

Mar-10-09   chessgeek100: watching game...
sigh...

snigger...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Mar-10-09   chessgeek100: Drawnik is such a joke
Mar-10-09   VaselineTopLove: It's as if Kramnik wanted to draw the movement he saw the French being played out. Maybe he was hoping for a Sicilian or something! ;)
Mar-11-09   TheChessGuy: This is the worst game I've ever seen. To quote Tal, "To play for a draw, at any rate with White, is to some degree a crime against chess." It's alright to draw if the position is drawn, but a game is never drawn in the opening!!
Mar-11-09   samikd: :) hee hee hee
Mar-11-09   Woody Wood Pusher: This could be Drawnik's greatest achievement in Life, not just chess.
Mar-11-09   chessgeek100: Sad isn't it.

Or just plain funny.

Mar-14-09   samikd: I hope the Kramnik-bashers at <chessgames.com> will now stop talking about those '15 move draws'.

I mean...its stupid to keep talking about 15 move draws when there are 8 movers available !!

:) :)

  whiteshark: Mit einem markerschütternden Aufschrei des Individuums erlaubt Vladimir Kramnik, die Emotionalität der Atmosphäre zu begleiten und die gesellschaftliche Weigerung, sich Geschichte und Erinnerung zu stellen als geschlechtsneutrale Konzeptkunst bedeutsam sein zu lassen. Wirkungsgeschichtlich eingegrenzter Fragehorizont der an das Historienbild des 19. Jahrhunderts gemahnenden Arbeit <French Defense: Exchange Variation> ist der Ethikbegriff in der Philosophie Emmanuel Levinas.
