Vladimir Kramnik
“I believe every chess player senses beauty, when he succeeds in creating situations, which contradict the expectations and the rules, and he succeeds in mastering this situation.”
I like tactics. I like sacrifices. I like complicated positions. I play fast and aggressively. I calculate with intensity. I break through, I move ahead, I conquer. I block any counterattack. My army holds together, it presses on, it crosses over. The game is mine, I win, I take the cup. Victory!
I am a planner. I imagine big. I lay a strong foundation. I build a castle, one move at a time. I create harmony for my pieces, I let them flow with ease. I play patiently. I wait, I improve position, step by step. I gain an advantage and then another one. I win again, the gold medal is mine!

"Among a great many other things that chess teaches you is to control the initial excitement you feel when you see something that looks good. It trains you to think before grabbing and to think just as objectively when you're in trouble.”
Stanley Kubrick
