My only comment is that I think that FIDE has gone totally insane with
the way the challenger is chosen.  IE for those not knowing, this came
down to a blitz match between two players (Anand and Adams), which seems
like a totally [stupid, idiotic, insane, or any other adjective inserted
here] way to choose the challenger.

What are they thinking about I wonder?  Obviously not the way to choose
the strongest challenger.  The old candidates matches were better than
this
nonsense...
