Clever.


Should be at least 9! 8 is possible for anyone (in theory)


So thought I- at first. But where does the knight move from, if it is attacking eight pieces? Wink

Right, but the pieces can move into the attack.


No, it cant you have to stop the check.

(Or are you saying that you can promote against Kramnik????)

#many +1: Kramnik can always promote, but never has to

#many +2: Against Kramnik you always need to promote, but you never can

39. The reason photography was invented was to stop people from being upset that they couldn't draw as well as Kramnik.

40.  Beef jerky is dried out by putting it on a board that Kramnik is playing on.

41.  I'm amazed that Kramnik is married - I didn't think women liked people who do horrible things to KIDs.

42.  Kramnik's next feat will be to single-handedly knock down the Great Wall of China for attempting to be more solid than his chess is.


Unbelievably smart word play! Amazing.


Wow, that really is very impressive.

Kramnik is the only person who knows how to demote pieces to pawns or even fire them.

How about this one:

Kramnik was theorized to be all the above mentioned and more, UNTIL Kasparov single handedly dismantled the Berlin wall... without even using a Queen -> http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1165519 ;

And Kasparov is still the greatest player in Chess history, even though I like Shirov more!! Sorry to burst the Kramnik bubble, i hope no one hates me for this.

When people write Kasparov/Fischer/etc  is the best chessplayer ever. They are misspelling the name off Kramnik. 'K-r-a-m-n-i-k"

These jokes are worse than Chuck Norris ones....still, I appreciate people are trying to inject fun into chess, heaven knows it needs it.  Wink  Keep 'em coming.  The odd one will be a gem.

 In this game it was like Kasparov had prepared lines down to the endgame. Kramnik was just adapting to Kasparov's play until resignation.

In any regards, thanks to Natalia for making us laugh, and thanks to all who contributed, I couldnt stop smiling this morning while reading them, they are very funny and refreshingly creative

Kramnik can stop clocks with the power of his mind.

International law bans the cloning of Kramnik because scientists have determined that if two Kramniks happened to play each other it would result in the incineration of the Earth.

Avatar of Quasimorphy

Little known fact:  The official unit of chess intelligence is the kramnik.  Kramnik is estimated to be 1 kramnik.  No one else is thought to be higher than a few millikramniks.

Anand is preparing to face Kramnik by practicing his resignation handshake.

Avatar of Deranged

It might be slightly funny if Kramnik was better at chess.

You need a name like Kasparov to replace those jokes.

Houdini was created so that Kramnik could face an easy opponent.

Chess was solved back in 1975.  The solution was Kramnik.
