KRAMNIK'S KITCHEN

CHEF DE CUISINE
Thanks to Vladimir Kramnik an old line against the Grünfeld 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!
