 The Best of Chess Informant

"When I played in the World Junior in Kiljava 1984, there was a big queue outside the door of Mark Condie because he had a copy of the latest Informant 36! Remembered seeing the game Tukmakov - Dreev there before giving it to the next boy in the queue. This was game 36/449."

Viswanathan Anand

Many wrote about Kramnik's play. His greatest strength lies in subtle positional outmaneuvering of the opponent and subsequent conversion of the advantage in the ending. His harmonious piece coordination is astounding, and his mental stability guarantees his best performance in decisive games.
