Bravo. Well said.
That's exactly what the 2007 tournament should be: A way to determine a
challenger.
Not a way to determine the world chess champion. Which is the way it is
set up now. Right?
Really, it doesn't make sense to call this a reunification match if the
only 'reward' besides monetary is that it's just a candidates match to
qualify for the 2007 world chess championship tournament.
RIDICULOUS!!!!
The loser of this tournament, if Topalov, should qualify to play in the
2007 round robin and the winner of that should then play Kramnik for the
world chess champion title.
