Remember you first have to qualify to play at the final by eliminating a bunch
of other good players. Therefore, by just qualifying to play at the final it was
a very tidious task which required much more than simply winning convincibly
3.5 games he also was the only players not to lose a single game period. Sorry
your comment is reflecting the same attitude of all Shirov's fans.

PS: Can you simply accept the fact that he was the best player overall, not only
for winning this Knockout FIDE match, but the best player period.
