"Even if you play perfectly, a fault of your opponent's can destroy the entire beauty of the game"

- Vladimir Kramnik

About this Quote

This quote by Vladimir Kramnik talks to the importance of the opponent in a video game. Also if one plays perfectly, the fault of the challenger can destroy the whole experience. This is because the elegance of a video game is not simply in the actions of the gamers, yet in the interaction between them. The elegance of a video game remains in the difficulty of attempting to outwit the challenger, the anticipation of their following action, as well as the satisfaction of a well-executed strategy. The charm of a video game is in the stress between the players, the excitement of a close match, as well as the joy of success. Without an opponent, the game is decreased to a mere exercise in technique, lacking the feeling and exhilaration that comes with a real match. Kramnik's quote advises us that the elegance of a game is not simply in the relocations of the players, yet in the communication in between them.
