1: Kasparov has always been favorable to Kramnik. He has stated he thought Kramnik would be the next world champion. He has gone out of his way to seek a match with Kramnik (first, the Shirov Kramnik match, which, unfortunately the wrong man won), then a decision - to hell with all qualifiers just decide who to fact. 2: Kramnik is obviously a wonderful chessplayer but he did not earn the right to face Kasparov and is arguably not stonger than Anand and a (very) few others. 3: Kramnik has done poorly in match play in the past. 4: Kasparov has gone out of his way to promote chess (like the match against "Sting"). I think this is wonderful. Nevertheless, Probably this is simply what can happen when an over-confident champion faces a well-prepared and talented opponent. I'm not completely sure that this is the case.
