Subject: Vladimir Kramnik's Sacrifice: A Silent Attacking Perspective.
|
Has anybody considered the idea that as a result of Kramnik's
experience with Topalov in the 2006 WC match, Kramink is
intentionally sacrificing his winning chances with Anand. From my
perspective I see it as Kramnik handing the World Championship
to Anand on a gold platter hence a potential Anand vs Topalov
matchup. Thus sparring Vladimir the unpleasant experience of
meeting Topalov in a WC environment (see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_World_Chess_Championship_2
006). Also it could be conjectured "Kramnik implicitly stated that
he would not be in competing past 40, that's two years." A chess
romanticist would like to think of the Anand vs Kramnik WC as an
opportunity to lure Garry Kasparov out of retirement and a Anand
vs Kasparov rematch then Kramnik jumping back into the picture
against the likes of Aronian, Carlsen, etc. I think it valiant of
Kramnik if he is sacrificing his chances against Anand.

Well from a free market perspective, the problem is the prize: each
side gets 50% regardless of performance. It should be more like
70%-30% IMO.

The World Chess Championship is taking place from October 14 =96
November 02, 2008 in the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal
Republic of Germany in Bonn. The match consists of twelve games,
played under classical time controls: 120 minutes for the first 40
moves, 60 minutes for the next 20 moves and then 15 minutes for the
rest of the game plus an additional 30 seconds per move starting from
move 61. The prize fund is 1.5 million Euro (approximately 2.35
million US Dollars) including taxes and FIDE license fees, and is
split equally between the players.

Your right 70 % to 30 % or at least 60 % to 40 % , that would give them
more fighting attitude.
It is hard for me to imagine Vlad throwing the games just because of his
problems with Top.
See id be different , id get in Tops head and tell him HE WILL NEVER BE
A WORLD CHAMPION WHILE I AM AROUND ....
I would be a trash talker of the chess world if i was a great GM....
