Lev Khariton: FIDE Plan is another scam - 2006/11/23 05:58
Aryeh Davidoff: This is Lev Khariton's 200 Words at www.pakchess.com:
FIDE, like an ever-generous Santa Claus, has prepared a surprise gift for chess fans. This is what we can read at www.chessbase.com as well as some other sites:
The World Chess Federation has published its rules for its next world championship cycle, consisting of qualifiers in four continents, a
128-player knock-out tournament and the winner will play against Garry
Kasparov. The winner of that match then faces the winner of Kramnik vs
Leko (if this is staged). The first leg will be held before July 1st
2004.
Some questions are necessary here.
1.Accepting the democratic procedure of the World Chess Championship, isn't it a bit cumbersome system to include over 100 players in the highest world challenge? Are all those who will participate real challenger for the World Title?
2. Isn't it better to limit the number of the World Championship participants, let us say 24 players, at the same time having them to play 6 or 8-game matches?
3.What about Kramnik and Leko? Are they listed among the participants of the World Championship? What if their match will never materialize?
Are they in this case entitled to have a shot at the title? Let us not forget that Kramnik in 2000 defeated Kasparov in the 15-game match without losing a single game.
4.Proceeding from the previous question, why is Kasparov privileged to play a match with the winner of the World Championship? In the last 18 months he has not won a single international event and his rating has dropped off today. Why is the chess players who is obviously spiraling down allowed to stand above the whole chess world?
Why is, in its turn, the chess world being silent facing this outspoken injustice?.
