Vladimir Kramnik the Biography
VER LAG DIE WERK STATT GÖTTIN GEN IN FOR MA TION Carsten Hensel Vladimir Kramnik The Biography Vladimir Kramnik is one of the best chess players in the history of the game. From 2000, when he defeated Garry Kasparov, until 2007 he was World Chess Champion. He has significantly shaped opening theory in chess and is still a top player today, participating in the Candidates Tournament in 2018 (the winner will be the challenger of Magnus Carlsen at the World Chess Championship 2018). This biography, written in close collaboration with Kramnik himself, traces his history from his childhood in Russia until today. The author, Kramnik’s longtime manager and friend, gives personal insight into the player’s life and provides exciting glimpses behind the scenes of the – sometimes quite shady – chess world. In addition, the book includes commentaries by Kramnik on his most important games and an extensive appendix with, among others, notations of all of Kramnik’s World Chess Championship games. The author Carsten Hensel, born in 1958 in Dortmund (Germany), knows the world of chess from an insider’s perspective. He not only worked as manager for Vladimir Kramnik and Hungarian grandmaster Peter Leko but was also involved in the organisation of the famous Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting and the World Chess Championship 2008 in Bonn. Sales points • Vladimir Kramnik is the 14th World Chess Champion, having beat Kasparov in 2000 • World Chess Championship in November 2018 in London • First Kramnik biography since 2000 • Written in close collaboration with Kramnik • Includes commentaries by Kramnik on his most important games.

Like the two previous books, Boris and I would debate the games over Skype. I would record the conversations and continue to analyse the games on my own, to see if I found any additional details. I would then return the games to Boris, fully annotated, and he would make further corrections. We then showed many of the examples to our students, who came up with many interesting suggestions. This is the case even more so with Decision Making in Major Piece Endings, which is published simultaneously with this volume. We would like to thank our students for their contributions. The authors would also like to thank Alexander Huzman for his great contribution and discoveries. Throughout the book, including in the index, you will find him referred to either as Huzman or simply as Alex – he deserves to be mentioned twice! Alex distinctly unimpressed – St Petersburg 2018 6 Boris Gelfand – Technical Decision Making in Chess This book also includes a small collection of photos.

Magnus Carlsen
Magnus Carlsen From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the Norwegian chess player. For people with a similar name, see Magnus Carlsson (disambiguation). Magnus Carlsen Magnus Carlsen, 2008 Full name Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen Country Norway 30 November 1990 (age 19) Born Tønsberg, Norway Title Grandmaster 2826 FIDE rating (No. 1 in the September 2010 FIDE World Rankings) Peak rating 2826 (July 2010) Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen (born 30 November 1990) is a Norwegian chess Grandmaster and chess prodigy currently ranked number one in the world on the official FIDE rating list. He has achieved the second highest ever rating exceeded only by Garry Kasparov.[1][2] On 26 April 2004 Carlsen became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 years, 148 days, making him the third-youngest Grandmaster in history. On 1 January 2010 the new FIDE rating list was published, and at the age of 19 years, 32 days he became the youngest chess player in history to be ranked world number one, breaking the record previously held by Vladimir Kramnik.[3] Carlsen is also the 2009 World blitz chess champion. His performance at the September–October 2009 Nanjing Pearl Spring tournament has been described as one of the greatest in history[4] and lifted him to an Elo rating of 2801, making him the fifth player to achieve a rating over 2800 – and aged 18 years 10 months at the time, by far the youngest to do so. Based on his rating, Carlsen has qualified for the Candidates Tournament which will determine the challenger to face World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the World Chess Championship 2012.
