I like this bit:
"If the match were to continue, the World Champion would refrain from
shaking hands with Mr. Kramnik before the games and would not take part
in joint press conferences with him. Veselin Topalov will make
statements for the media separately."

I'm glad I'm not the only one amused by the idea of Topalov refusing
to shake Kramnik's hand because he goes to the toilet too often.

I was going to say it was childish, but it is not even that.

But, since Topalov presumably wouldn't shake hands BEFORE the game
starts, and wouldn't take part in press conferences, I assume that the
handshake refusal is not about hygiene. Just like when Karpov and
Korchnoi didn't shake hands...

Oh, I'm sure it's not about hygiene. But that doesn't stop me being
amused by the idea that it is.

Topalov refusing to shake hand is indeed due to hygiene because Kramnik
never washes his hands after leaving bathroom.
