♻️ Vladimir Kramnik
♻️Russian chess Grandmaster
♻️ Former World Chess Champion
🔰 Vladimir Borisovich Kramnik is a Russian chess grandmaster. He was the Classical World Chess Champion from 2000 to 2006, and the undisputed World Chess Champion from 2006 to 2007.
🔘 Full name: Vladimir Borisovich Kramnik
🔘 Country: Russia
🔘 Born: 25 June 1975 (age 43)
🔺Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union
🔘 Title: Grandmaster (1992)
🔘 World Champion: 2000–06 (Classical)
🔺 2006–07 (undisputed)
🔘 FIDE rating: 2779 (September 2018)
🔘 Peak rating: 2817 (October 2016)
🔘 Ranking: No. 3 (February 2018)
🔘 Peak ranking: No. 1 (January 1996)
🔰 Kramnik played a six-game match against the computer program Deep Fritz in Bonn, Germany from 25 November to 5 December 2006, losing 2–4 to the machine, with 2 losses and 4 draws. He received 500,000 Euros for playing and would have twice as much had he won the match. Deep Fritz version 10 ran on a computer containing two Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs. Kramnik received a copy of the program in mid-October for testing, but the final version included an updated opening book. Except for limited updates to the opening book, the program was not allowed to be changed during the course of the match. The endgame tablebases used by the program were restricted to five pieces even though a complete six-piece tablebase was widely available.
The first game ended in a draw. A number of commentators claimed that Kramnik missed a win. The second game was won by Deep Fritz, due to a mistake by Kramnik, who failed to defend against a threatened mate-in-one. Susan Polgar called it the "blunder of the century". The third, fourth and fifth games of the match ended in draws. In the last game Kramnik played the aggressive Sicilian Defense in an attempt to win with black and hence even the match, but was outplayed by Fritz. Kramnik was forced to resign, and Fritz won the match 4–2.
