It has never been about that. Anyone who knows anything about mathematics is aware that a contest -- even a 50 game contest between the two persons supposed to be best -- does not really decide who the better player is. If we are free to pick and choose whoever we like for world champion, then Kenneth Chamberlain's claim that Bobby Fischer is world champion is just as good as Kasparov. In fact, I do hereby declare that Tina Long is world chess champion.
