It's a shame to see big guns shown the door. If Anand and some others like him fall out, it would really tarnish the whole thing. I enjoy tournaments like this for a couple reasons. First and foremost is the excellent chess play. But seeing players perform that I am familiar with is also valuable to me. I wish that Yassar were playing, because I just love his books. He's also from this area, and so his Fide falling out really puts a cramp in these events for me.
