I agree that the seeding logic will need some revision for the next event. Again it was too bad that the other seeded player, Kasparov, was a no show. It would then have been possibly something like the winner of Kasparov-Adams vs the winner of Karpov-Anand. Karpov fully deserves the crown as once again he showed up for the fight. The younger players will have to wait for the next cycle. Do you think there will be a unification match with Kasparov-Karpov? I'm thinking not.
