If my info is right, Shirov won Kramnik no so long ago in a preliminary match, but Kasparov didn't like to face him in a match for the World title. The Spanish press mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Shirov went to court to fight for his clear right to be the candidate to the World Championship. So let's expect a final match between Kramnik and Shirov to decide who is the real World Champion. Tomas. ... by the way, although I consider Shirov to be the best chess player in the world today, I know that he has just lost a game some hours ago in the Olympics in Istambul against Boris Gelfand... ;-)
