I feel that my relationship with Kasparov now is much the same as it had been before the match - good. As for his reaction, well it can't be nice to lose your title after so long, but he was very generous.
From Vladimir Kramnik
My way of playing is very different and Karpov plays very differently as well.
No - I'm quite calm inside during the game for most of the time - not 100%, but generally very calm.
Once he had selected the path he was going down he really had to stick with it in a 16 game match. He had to try and hit in the one direction but unfortunately for him - though fortunately for me! - he hit in the wrong direction.
Only he, who penetrates into the depth of the game, can express his personality in it.
So basically it's very simple: to start with, if you want to win the match, you shouldn't be afraid of him. There are still many, many things to do, but above all this is the most important: Don't be scared of him!
