Kramnik Draw Champion
Compiled by Butterflies

Here are some beauties of the World Classical Draw Champion Vladimir Kramnik.

He has developed a beatifull draw technique, that will make sleep players with all kind of ratings, players 0f 2500, of 2750, no matter if its blitz, semi-rapid, blind chess, classical time controls, he can manage to draw in all kinds of situations and events.

He also is know as Drawmnik, cause i considerer him as the best drawer that has ever lived, so this its a little tribute to the World Classical Draw Champion, Mr Drawmnik.

He has some interesting quotes: "Chess its so deep, sometimes a short draw will avoid all that deepness" (explaining why his draws were so short)

"I dont want to sound inmodest, but when you become champion you dont care about winning anymore" ( an answer to a enterview when he was asked why he was doing so many draws)

"Everyone has a choice: either to try to go for a win and may finish exhausted, or to do as me, make a short draw"
