How to play old man positional chess in 2015
During his game with Sergey Karjakin at the World Blitz Championships today, Vladimir Kramnik showed how to play old man positional chess in 2015. It really is the best way to beat these callow youths. Enjoy!
Why anyone would play the Catalan AGAINST Kramnik is beyond me, unless they just wanted a free lesson. To stay with the theme, we'll file this one under "the folly of youth"!
To be fair to Karjakin, he is one of the top players himself, and he's been on a real tear the last few weeks, most notably in winning the recent World Cup. He just ran out of gas yesterday.
