Russel, when GK said Kramnik will be his challenger i said Kasparov will lose the title cause Kramnik was the only player able to beat him, chessplayers friends of mine though i was kidding but the time proved i was right. In case the rematch of GK-Kramnik take place i´ll bet again in favor of Kramnik.
