Oct-06-06   AngryAaron: No Way. That can't really be Kramnik. He doesn't play like that anymore.
Oct-06-06   Guepardo: <This is supposedly the 11th best game ever in the history of chess>

A fantastic game, but i woudnt put him in the 20 best.

  Ishaan: How many time have you seen Kramnik attacking like that!!!

Seems Kasparov had really provoked Kramnik!

  Slink: From page 1: <Also, many Americans misuse this adjective as a plural noun = "My class is full of ignorants" instead of "ignorami" like you suggested.>

For the record, <tpstar>, the English word 'ignoramus' derives from the first person plural present tense indicative form of the Latin verb 'ignorare', thus literally translating as 'we don't know'. If used as an English noun, 'ignoramus' therefore cannot be inflected as though it were a Latin noun. With all due respect, <tpstar>, the plural you suggest is incorrect. But pretty hilarious.

Apr-07-07   KamikazeAttack: This was vintage Kramnik.

Many of his old games were like this...

May-11-07   iccsumant: Did Kramnik actually attack like that? Why is Kasparov making everybody become tigers? First time I've seen Kramnik playing like this. From a cool player to Michael Tal! Wonderful!
May-11-07   Davolni: wow.... what a nice game by Kramnik.... or I guess ugly play by Kasparov?????
Nov-19-07   Broon Bottle: how can one win with Kasparov crawling all over the position? fantastic game
Nov-19-07   KamikazeAttack: Seen this game mant times and I am still in awe. Kramnik was just 21 when he gave Kasparov this mother of all beatdowns.

No doubt Kaspy didn't sleep well that nite.

Jan-11-08   Riverbeast: What goes around comes around...Kasparov was on the receiving end of the beatdown this time...a taste of his own medicine

  brankat: Must have required a lot of courage to play this way against Kasparov in his prime. A wild game!
Oct-14-08   mistreaver: i wonder what would all "Drawniks" have to say here
Oct-20-08   Ladolcevita: Why people just judge a person only by a game?
I admit Anand is in the better place this match,but Kramer is not that bad,and deserves that infamy. I never particularly prefer someone,but i feel i need to say some words for him.He is at least playing better than some big mouths.If he is not able to qualified for a WC game,then how is you able to qualified for judging on him?
Oct-20-08   Aspirador: It is undeniable though that his style of playing has changed since this game. It's 12 years ago.
Oct-20-08   Ladolcevita: Well,it doesnt make any sense......
Oct-21-08   Aspirador: <Well,it doesnt make any sense......> Hm?
Nov-12-08   veerar: Having played this line,one wonders,how Kramnik allowed the games 3 and 5 against Anand,in Bonn.

  furrer: Isnt this the only game between Kasparov and Kramnik where black wins (classical time control - not rapid or blitz)
Jan-29-09   VaselineTopLove: <This is supposedly the 11th best game ever in the history of chess>

Who according to and which are the top 10?

Jan-29-09   Ychromosome: Wow is <furrer> correct that this is the only black win in classical time control between Kasparov and Kramnik?? I going to try to find out; anyone else want to weigh in?
