”Art and chess are just different fields, in which the same poetry finds expression.“ Vladimir Kramnik, 14th World Chess Champion
”Vladimir Kramnik is one of the most talented players, perhaps THE most talented player, whom I have met in my chess career... There are some positions, like for example with the bishop pair or with a central passed pawn, which he played as if with divine inspiration.“ Artur Yusupov
Carsten Hensel is a sports manager, event organizer and journalist, who was Kramnik’s long-time manager.
