For me it is clear ... only Stefan can >play vs. Kramnik or we play a new WM. Hi Frank, There won't be a new WC to settle the issue of challenger. I doubt that the "Qualification" (aka. ChessBase SMP Championship) will be cancelled or changed just because the concept is moronic to the core. The secret nature of the arrangement means that the decision was already made, before it was made public here or at the Millennium site. I was against the idea of Shredder being the automatic opponent. But given the details presented here about the qualification, the idea is becoming more and more appealing as time goes by. BTW, do you know the wording of the invitation sent to Millennium? Mogens. PS: I think I'll visit Leiden next month if I can find the time.
