14th World Champion Kramnik Retires From Classical Chess
Big vlad is a great ambassador of world chess
If you failed to solve the puzzle then in here you can find the solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKb7s-FL7gY
Pawn to F6. Remove Queen from G line.
Why are you sorry you'll never see a game by this fraudster again?
Kramnik is such a fraud! Cheated to become the 13th World Champion. Topalov had to have it!

Feeling really sad about Kramnik's retirement.
Rook to g8 check
Then folk king and queen with knight then game is yours.
This is awesome
QxF5? Kramnik learned the ways of Tal
rg1+ kh3 rh1+ kg2 rh2+ kf1+ g2+ kf2 g1Q+ kg1 nf3 the queen is gone and we are exchange up
1. Rg1+ Kh3 2. Rh1+ Kg2 3. Rh2+ Kf1 4. g2+! Kxf2 5. g1Q+ Kxg1 6. Nf3+ Kf1 7. Nxg5 …. 0-1
Rg1+ Kh3, Rh1+ Kg2, Rh2+ Kf1, g2+, here if KxBf2 then promote the g pawn to a queen# but if Qxg2 then RxQg2 and it's winning; the other line where king doesnt take f2 neither queen takes, is Ke2, that line seems easy to win.
Rb8+,ka6,ra8#
F
Noooooo
The solution is 1… Rg1+ 2.Kh3 Rh1+ 3.Kg2 Rh2+ 4.Kf1 (4.Kxh2?? Nf3+ wins the queen) Nf3! (the obvious g2 is winning but this is definitely better) 5.Qg4 Nxh4 6.Qf4 Rh1+ 7.Ke2 g2 8.Qxf2 g1=Q and black is a clear rook up. An alternative to 6.Qf4 is 6.Nd4 Rh1+ 7.Ke2 Re1 8.Kd2 g2 9.Ne2 Rxe2 10.Qxe2 g1=Q and black is two minor pieces up.
Amazing queen Sacrifice!
Amazing double checks!
Good Job, Mr Suren! 😉
Sh!t Suren, when you started to read Kramnik's statement without warning I thought for a brief moment that you were putting an end to your chess carreer, what a relief! I couldn't stand losing both Kramnik and Suren hehehe
