And he has good reason to be "friendly" to Kramnik at this point: as the >new World Champion, Kramnik is going to have a lot of power in the chess world. That depends heavily on the surviveability of the BGN World Championship title and the financial support that keeps it afloat. Somehow I doubt that it'll live very long without Kasparov as frontman, so participating in the FIDE WC might be the sensible thing to do for Kramnik. Otherwise he could end up with nothing in the end. Mogens.
