"This is not what I meant, although I fully expect >these kind of replies." It isn't true. Yes, everybody goes for the money, but >you won't be seeing Garry play in fide wc even though the prize money is very >good. Of *course* Kasparov isn't going to show up at the FIDE World Championship. I don't know why you think this makes him a saint. He has refused to defend his title (the FIDE title, by the way) under FIDE, so it would be the height of hypocrisy for him to show up at this event. >But Kamsky, Anand, Shirov (and a host of others) are not averse to >clothing themselves in saintly garb, putting themselves out as "good guys" and >slapping you in the face (in a "nice" way - snicker) the very next day for the >money. Can you please expain why their participation in a FIDE World Championship makes them bad guys? --Peter
