Now that reunification has taken place, how will the next world
champion gain their title ? I think after the San Luis WCh-FIDE
tournament, it was announced that it was such a success that future
world titles would be decided that way.
So is Kramnik expected to participate in the next WCh-FIDE tournament?
Or is it expected that the winner of the next WCh-FIDE tournament
gets to challenge the current world champion in a match ?
Or is it all still undecided ?
Regards, Peter

Problem with that is that Kramnik would be violating a contract he
signed with FIDE I believe (I could be wrong), most likely resulting in
him forfeiting the title. Then, Kramnik would be the bad guy.
I think people want to see this go through at least one full cycle
before they pass rash judgement on it - at least I do. I am not crazy
about a tournament deciding the FIDE champion, but if that is what we
have, and that is what the players signed contracts for, so be it.

I hate toutnaments. Dont get me wrong, they are finre, but not for
the "World Championship". A long match is the best way to decide who is
better between two players. The adjustments between games is a factor
that is taken out with tournaments. Whoever wins the tournament is the
world tournament champion, not the best player in the world.

I think Kramnik should refuse to play in the tourny and should play the
winner as the challenger to his world championship title. If FIDE
doesnt
like it he should say 'too bad'. I doubt FIDE would split the world
title
again considering how much effort it took to reunify.
just my 2cents :)

Hi Pete,
Just ignore the petty goings on of Ray Gordon...
1) Kramnik plays in the 2007 WCH Tournament in Mexico -
http://www.chessmexico.com/. Winner is FIDE World Champ.
2) Topalov is out of this cycle and is a spectator.
Only variable is that Topalov is trying to put together a challenge to
Kramnik's title (allowed based on FIDE rules) if he can come up with
1$MIL for Match, 20% for FIDE + Org costs in April/May 2007. Basically
the same thing Radjabov tried to do to Topalov. Unfortunately for
Radjabov, Topalov LOST to Kramnik.
Of course, this would fuck everything up.
So, as usual, we are waiting to see what happens and what will Kirsan
do next?
But that is how it is today, right now, as I see it.

It was a valid point, though, that we're back to the pre-Fischer
"the Russians are fixing world chess" structural flaw. Our only
get-out being that world chess currently isn't so dominated by
one nation.

Will there be one of these every two years ? (San Luis was in 2005)
> 2) Topalov is out of this cycle and is a spectator.
A strange arrangement... Hopefully he'll still be at his peak in 2009.

Crass, isn't it? I suppose at least it's blatant :-(

Great, thanks. Regards, Peter

Will this be in time for an American to accuse the Russians of taking easy
draws in the Candidates' Tournament in order to ensure that one of them wins
it?

Dunno, Ray. How long did you say it was going to take you before you
got to the Candidates' Tournament?
