| Strong points: |
All-round player, with an incredible feeling for positional chess.
Hard to beat. |
| Career highlights: |
Kramnik has won various strong tournaments and reached many second and
third places as well. His career highlight is his match victory against
Garry Kasparov in 2000, which brought him the World Title (Classical
Chess). |
| Expectations CCT 2003: |
Normally Kramnik is the main favourite in this tournament, but the
classical world champion did not play a strong tournament for a long
time. His main event in 2002 was the match against Deep FRITZ, which
ended undecided, 4-4. |
