Since then thera are 2 champions, the oficial (Ponomariov) and the unoficial(Kramnik).In 2000 in London GK defended his title(he said he was the real champion)against Kramnik and lost it. Since then GK wants a rematch but Kramnik decline it. As GK couldnt reach a rematch he rejoined to the person he called his archienemy, FIDE president Kirsan Iliuzynov, he and Kasparov rules the FIDE, that´s why the reason for the match with Pono, this is a very long and complicated history and my english isnt very good to explain you.
