Kramnik shows character
Vladimir Kramnik is proving that he is a winner all the way. Well, if you forget the World Championship match where he was bulldozed by the devastating weapons Anand brought to the match, he has grown from strength to strength.
When anyone else would feel the effects of the demoralizing match, Kramnik has taken it positively and even changed his style from conservative to heavy risk taking. With just two rounds to go at the Tal Memorial, he is almost the surprise leader.
Now, there is more action on the Live Chess Rating list. Kramnik is approaching Topalov, Carlsen and Anand who are almost bunched up. It is almost as fair as it can be. Aronian is sure to throw in his hat sooner or later but even without it, the ratings list is almost sure to change even before the end of the event, and definitely by the time the London event is finished.
