| percyblakeney: The Dortmund tournament doesn't have a public draw but presents the playing schedule months in advance. This year Ivanchuk gets more white than black games for the first time, while Kramnik and Leko have had more white games in 80 percent of their previous starts but won't get it this year. Kramnik will have decent chances to end his long winless streak with black when he faces Gustafsson and Naiditsch (black also against Mamedyarov and Ivanchuk). He is white against van Wely, Nepomniachtchi and Leko. http://www.sparkassen-chess-meeting... |

|
| percyblakeney: Kramnik has eight previous Dortmund victories, and normally he should be the clear favourite, but the fact that Ivanchuk and Mamedyarov have one more white will make it a bit more unpredictable. |

| DCP23: <percyblakeney: He is white against [...] Nepomniachtchi> A pity, I was actually looking forward to Kramnik facing Nepo's dubious (if not outright idiotic) 'Central Opening': 1.e4 e5 2.d4?!. Kramnik could have shown how to deal with it once and for all. |

| veigaman: <Kasparov, I'm pretty sure, studied and learned the most from Alekhine, Botvinnik and, believe it or not, from Karpov.> I define kasparov as follow:
Kasparov style can be defined as 2 players in 1 depending what side of the board he played. With whites, Alekhine, with blacks fischer and also with 2 personal teachers: one theorical (botvinik) and another practical (karpov) |

| DCP23: <hrvyklly: This not do it for you?> Thanks, I've seen these, and that's more or less what I play against this opening myself. But still Kramnik's game would have been interesting to see. |

| hrvyklly: <DCP23: But still Kramnik's game would have been interesting to see.> I guess Kramnik would've played the 'solid' or 'correct' response, got a decent position, and then tried to outplay his opponent in a middle-game... |

It just seems so flowing and natural and all of his pieces just happen to take the right positions at the right time to control the right squares. Quite amazing. |

| Atking: <I love watching Kramnik play... It just seems so flowing and natural and all of his pieces just happen to take the right positions at the right time to control the right squares. Quite amazing.> Yes when Kramnik is in form he plays from another planet 3000 Elo. Natural but so difficult to copy :( You resume perfectly my point of view. By the way Kramnik won in 33 moves! |

OK, to a pretty limited 'extend' it seems :) |
