Kramnik defended his title 7-7 by winning the last game against Leko.
December 4,2004, at ChessBase English site Kasparov discusses Fischer 
Random Chess: Because of 'volume of opening theory', 'several million games',
Kasparov cites the 'possibility of playing not all 960 position but to
downsize them in number to 20-30 positions. Simply pick a position and
play it for a year. Next year a different position. In actual fact from
the 960 positions 95% of them, frankly speaking, are poison to your
eyes.'  Pritchard's 1994 Encyclopedia of CVs, page 10: 'John Warbis, chess 
editor of 'The Statesman' proposed that a governing body should announce a 
new array on the first day of each year which would operate for the next 
twelve months(Chess Amateur 1928).' That suggestion was made 75 years ago.
