Kramnik's Kitchen: The Grandmaster Guide to Opening News. Supplement to New in Chess Magazine (New in Chess Yearbook, 58)

Opening preparation is not the first thing that comes to mind when the name of Brain Game World Champion Vladimir Kramnik is brought up. However, with the right ingredients in hand he is more than capable of producing some spicy opening dishes. Have a taste from Kramnik's Kitchen.

CHEF DE CUISINE
Thanks to Vladimir Kramnik an old line against the Grnfeld Indian has come back into fashion. White's natural set-up invented by Kasparov (14.Ke1) is solid, but by no means harmless, as is shown by the chef de cuisine himself.

A SALTY RECIPE
No bark, but a lot of bite! How to push your opponent to the edge at little risk of losing. Assistant cook Evgeny Bareev supplied Vladimir Kramnik with a salty recipe in the Queen's Gambit Accepted.

ONE MORE FLAVOUR
The Rubinstein Variation of the Nimzo-Indian is the home of several types of position. Vladimir Kramnik added one more flavour in his match against Garry Kasparov: a radical and risky pawn sacrifice!
