From this match, we must hope for a decisive result, as a tie will divert to speed games. The infamy of it: Speed games to decide a world championship! How 'democratic.' Shame it is only a 12 game match as this goes against tradition of longer world championship match games. Good that the match is taking place at all, unfortunately under FIDE auspices. FIDE under Ilyumzhinov seems incapable of finding either a format or set of qualifiers worthy of an event of this magnitude. It will be a very exciting match, I think, and it is very hard to pick a winner. I will predict Kramnik as winner, though it pains me to think that Topalov, with his recent winning chess, might not become legitimate heir to Kasparov.
