Hey Igor, thanks alot for all the kind words and positive feedback.
Yes, I think Kramnik is probably in the top 10 (possibly even top 5) players of all time.
I adore his will to win combined with his excellent opening preparation, which allowed him to last for so many years.
And also his life philosophy, part of which he presented in his famous accent in this interview.

Like the flow of his pieces, I think I could copy some of his moves during the few first moves of the game but what I realIy cannot copy is his perfect russian english accent during interviews! Pure magic! Thanks for the analysis!
