Mar-02-04		InspiredByMorphy: Kramnik plays the dutch fiercly. 20.Rxf3!

Sep-06-04		Knight13: Okay. White resigned for no reason at all. If I am wrong, tell me. Good game.

Sep-06-04		maoam: <Knight13> Regardless of White's 22nd move, Black wins with: 22...xf3+ 23.g1 g2#

Dec-10-04		aw1988: How can it be a "good game" if a side resigns for no reason?

Dec-10-04		sneaky pete: Maybe because the game wasn't agreed drawn for no reason after 11 moves.

Dec-11-04		aw1988: sneaky, I would have no problem accepting that fact. :(

Jan-12-05		Poisonpawns: What happened to "this" Kramnik? I like the fierce Kramnik playing dutch!

Jan-12-05		JamesKnight: Vlad the Peaceful

Jan-12-05		Shams: 11. Qb3 is not to the point here. white must take on f5, whether or not he intends to grab the e-pawn on the next move. Letting black sac the pawn on f4 is really asking for it.

Jan-12-05		ranchogrande: >Poisonpawns< .Good point about Vlad.So the very yong Kramnik turns out to be the "good old Kramnik".Perhaps hes nursing his title to much.And a pitty the ducth leninggrad isnt played,almost,any more at the highest level.And the strongest comps have a very heavy score with the black pieces!...

Feb-10-05		BadTemper: 20 Black to move and win should be a good easy puzzle of the day

Oct-23-05		alexandrovm: that's a nice rook sac by Kramnik

Nov-04-05		Deefstes: Is that really a Rook sac strictu sensu? I'm a noob here and no Chess expert but to me it looks like a Rook-Knight exchange. It also happens to win Black the game. Maybe I should ask it this way; if there was some way for the white King to escape after 20...Rxf3, would it still have been a Rook sac or would it have been considered a Rook-Knight exchange?

Jan-21-06		vortex: Was Qxb7 playable on move 17 for white ? It seems like the Nbd2 prevented white from co-ordinating his pieces properly. The finish is surprisingly forceful.

Dec-14-06		littleshiva: 21 Qxd5 Qxd5 22 Nxf3 e4

May-03-07		WarmasterKron: <<Poisonpawns> What happened to "this" Kramnik?> He changed his opening repetoire, a fairly common thing for chess players at all levels to do.

Jul-16-12		LoveThatJoker: Guess-the-Move Final Score: M Tataev vs Kramnik, 1989. YOU ARE PLAYING THE ROLE OF KRAMNIK. Your score: 24 (par = 21) LTJ
