Vladimir Kramnik on DVD

   I received my copy of [1]Vladimir Kramnik: My Path to the Top
   yesterday, and it's terrific - I plan to inflict it on as many people
   as I can! Kramnik often seems taciturn in his interviews and reluctant
   to give his audience any insight into his thinking or methods, but
   that's not the case here. In addition to his commentary on many of his
   career highlights (primarily against Kasparov, Leko and Topalov, with
   one further game each against Karpov and Nunn), he offers many
   anecdotes, training tips and psychological ideas, often with a sense
   of humor and genuine humility. (There are a couple of brief excerpts
   at the link above, and a longer one [2]here.)
   Very inspiring (even if it's also scary to hear him say that he was a
   2000 player at the age of 7), and very highly recommended.
