A fraction of their income should be tied to a score given by the people (maybe the ones that attended the match and paid the ticket to see it).Dr.Wael Deeb wrote:http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7242

Maybe a committee or many titled players voting etc.
That is easy to fix.

Anand has to be salivating at the thought of playing either one of these cowards!!
I am not the biggest Topalov fan but at least he usually comes to play!!
In fact the whole method for picking the candidates was flawed! There are quite a few players who were higher in the rankings who were passed up. Ivanchuk! Nakamura! To name a few. I think those guys would have come to fight!
OR Shirov! Or Judit Polgar!
How is this for a candidates redo?? (not counting Carlsen who backed out:
Aronian
Ivanchuk
Topalov
Nakamura
Kramnik
Karjakin
Mamedyarov
Gashimov
Ponomariov
Just the top 8 after Anand and Carlsen
I think the fighting spirit may have been more evident with these cast I would have loved to see a Topalov-Nakamura match where each one of them had to do 2 shots of Ouzo before each game!!
And how many chances does Kamsky get? Sheesh!

They should define a number of moves to be played before they can agree for a silly draw,say not before the 40th move....michiguel wrote:A fraction of their income should be tied to a score given by the people (maybe the ones that attended the match and paid the ticket to see it).Dr.Wael Deeb wrote:http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7242

Neither did Max Euwe and Alekhine didn't take him seriously, drank his way through the match and lost. Maybe Anand will take up drinking?
Anyway, whether they have a shot or not, one of them deserves the chance because he'll win the right to play for the title.
