Featured is one of Vladimir Kramnik’s best chess games. It was played at 1996 European Club Cup against Boris Gelfand. Kramnik’s final move of this 28-move encounter is one of the most beautiful ways to end a game. What allowed Kramnik to play such a move against Gelfand was in large part related to the positional components during the opening and middlegame phases. It only takes one badly positioned piece to have a bad position. Pay close attention to all the care Kramnik gives to his king knight once the Shabalov Attack is reached.
