Lets settle this once and for all:

1. In most other sports (assuming you regard Chess as a sport), the World
Champion loses his title if he doesn't defend it. It makes no difference if he
is the best player (the best team), he has to defend it to retain it. Fischer
and Kasparov decided NOT to defend their titles and therefore, lost them. Since
FIDE is the only organization that has stepped up to run chess world wide, it's
title is the World Title. Braingames title holds absolutely no water at all.

2. The person with the highest IQ in the world is a Canadian woman. She is
internationally recognized as such. Surprising huh? Apart from that, I've dated
woman that can kick your butt!! Maybe it's time you stepped up from the dark
ages and recognized that, without woman, you wouldn't exist!
