Tata Steel is over but on his way out of the Netherlands, the 14th World Champion announced he'll no longer be an active professional player.
Kramnik told me a few years ago at the London Classic that when he felt he couldn't maintain his true level then he'd call it a day. He gave it one last punt in Wijk but it was clear that the spark had gone. He is a true champion and wish him all the best in his future endeavours
