It's true Kramnik ducked the rematch with Kasparov....but Anand isn't the better player in match play...If he is, he must prove it!LJC wrote:More like Anand TOOK the crown from you rightfully. Vishy has my respect but Kramnik was always looking to duck GK in a return match.
Just accept it, Vishy was better than you and won the world crown of chess. end of story.
Isn't FIDE the sanctioning body for chess? If so, then the title is won however they say it is (including by coin toss).Terry McCracken wrote:It's true Kramnik ducked the rematch with Kasparov....but Anand isn't the better player in match play...If he is, he must prove it!LJC wrote:More like Anand TOOK the crown from you rightfully.

Who are you to say that the WCC can be played via a tournament? Even the FIDE shouldn't make that call!!

If I had my way, there would be qualifiers and head to head matches like formerly at 40/2. But I don't get my way. FIDE gets to decide.
Good for him...Now it appears he'll duck a rematch....Frankly, IMO Kasparov deserves the title over both of them...but the Criminal FIDE decides who is and isn't WCC...It's all Nonsense!LJC wrote:Anand has spoken up about Drawnik's comment: --- http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4231

In case you may have forgotten, Kasparov took Kramink out in tournament play after Lending his Crown.
Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand.....Title, Title, who has the Title Regards...
P.S. Too bad Kasparov retired, due to the FIDE, as he would have the title.
P.S. 2. Fischer will go to his grave claiming he's the WCC
