I'd call it the Steinitz Cup after the first "official" world
champion, but that's just me.

A ring made of 24k gold from the river Rhine in Germany. A huge gold
belt modelled on the WWE belt. Also a trophy, roughly twice the size
of the Stanley Cup, but made of 24k gold from the river Rhine and
covered in Japanese diamonds.

No.He gets to play Kramnik in a Match next year.It would be nice to
get a Green Jacket like they do in golf for winning the Masters.I love
the Stanley Cup in hockey out of all the prizes.Perhaps FIDE can come
up with the "Morphy Cup" to the World Champion. Personally just give
me the money !!!
