Vladimir Kramnik Facts (Humor)

Nice ones

The saddest moment in Anands life was not when he found out that Santa was fake, it was when he found out Kramnik was real.

When you halve Kramnik's rating, the result is still OVER 9000! Sorry, just couldn't resist!

26) Negotiations for the 1975 title match between Karpov and Fisher fell appart when Fisher learned that Kramnik would be one of Karpov's seconds.

27) There is no 14th world chess champion, the first and only world chess championship match was held in 2000 between the title holder Kramnik and humanity's challenger Kasparov. The so called "title matches" held since 1886 were only to select a sacrificial lamb for Kramnik in 2000.

28) The next title match will be held in the year 3000. Disapointed by the level of the last challenger, Kramnik has set a minimum elo rating of 4000 for the candidates. When asked what we should look for in a challenger, Kramnik answered "for starters someone who doesn't blunder mate in 20 moves".

Arm Kink is an anagram for Kramnik

just sayin'

29) There used to be a requirement that all world chess champions had to have names starting with K, standing for the king. Kramnik wanted to require K's at both ends of the name, but fortunately FIDE realised he was the only one who qualified and blocked it.

(Carlsen was only accepted after a long debate about phonetics).

 But Chuck Norris can still win a game of chess by saying "Yahtzee!"

This is actually quite easy, in fact there are two solutions, one is 1. Qxe8#, and another is to be Kramnik
