Interview

Vladimir Kramnik on the world of chess (Part 4)


ChessBase, 6/13/2007

Frederic Friedel, a well known personality from ChessBase, conducted a long interview with World Champion Vladimir Kramnik during the Miskolc rapid chess match against Peter Leko in April this year. The interview was recorded in video, with a fairly comprehensive transcription and divided into 4 parts.

This fourth and final part was published on 13.06.2007 on the ChessBase website.  On Wednesday, September 29 2006, game five of the reunification world championship match was scheduled to take place. However, Vladimir Kramnik did not appear at the board, and after an hour of waiting the point was awarded to his opponent Veselin Topalov. What exactly happened in Elista, what was the reason for this risky action? Kramnik tell it all in the final part of our interview.
