Go up one level in this thread


I find Yassers' article confusing.

If GK has not defended his title in 5 years, and in the forthcoming challenge
with Kramnik, his opponent has not played anyone for the right to challenge for
a title, and the PCA no longer exists, how can the winner of the forthcoming
match claim to be champion of anything?

It seems to me that the only claim GK can really make is to be the highest
placed player on the FIDE rating list. And if Kramnik wins, the only claim he
can make is to have beaten the highest rated player.
