Vladimir Kramnik is a giant of the chess world. He firmly secured his
legendary status when he won the World Championship in 2000 by defeating
the previously dominant Garry Kasparov - the only player ever to do so
in a match. Kramnik held on to his crown for seven years, and today he
remains one of the World's elite players. In this book, former American
Open Champion Cyrus Lakdawala invites you to join him in a study of his
favourite Kramnik games. Lakdawala examines Kramnik's renowned skills in
attack and defence, exploiting imbalances, dynamic elements,
accumulating advantages and endgame play, and shows how we can all
improve by learning from Kramnik's masterpieces. Move by Move provides
an ideal platform to study chess. By continually challenging the reader
to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format
greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as
much as the traditional assimilation of knowledge. Carefully selected
questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and
allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent
way to improve your chess skills and knowledge.
