I wish this guy would at least retire from chess, if he is going to refuse to play. I give it to him that he won the last Fide world championships. Now however he has no claim to such a title. If he isn't going to play in the current champs he should at least retire! He knows there's no way that he can hold a match with any of the top 5 players except maybe Morozevich(lack of experience). He should just do it for the good of chess and stop embarassing himself. Heck even if he pulled a Kasparov and just said "Ok me and Shirov/whoever will play a match for the title" would be fine but he needs to finish it up. He's had a great run but the race is over! P.S Karpov has a deal with millenium chess computers P.S #2 In the recent movie "The Saint" The character playing the president of Russia was named President Karpov, and he stood by a computer in the movie.
