Why doesn't Kramnik play the Bongcloud? It's too easy.

Every one of Kramnik's opponents eventually finds themself in the same losing position: across the board from Kramnik.

Sorry, a little off topic but I need help finding a name for my new cat. She is my 7th cat. My first cat I named it King. The second cat is Queen. Third is Rook. Fourth is Bishop. Fifth is Knight. Sixth is Pawn. Now I'm running out of name. Should I name it Kramnik?

I've only ever seen one other cat named Kramnik.  It was hosting a simul in which it went undefeated.

I heard about that, Nakamura and Short were among the players.

Kramnik once won a boxing match with only a King and two Knights.

Well indeed he did it again today :p

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

You need a name like Kasparov to replace those jokes.

Kramnik once solved the following puzzle.

Mate in One.  White to play.

Avatar of Gambitknight

The ultimate rhetorical question: can Kramnik find a move so strong, that he himself can't find a defense?

Avatar of Phelon

The lucena position is a win against everyone not named Kramnik, who can draw it by force.
