Yes, they were wrong to make this choice, but benevolently so. They may have forgotten what reaction they would stir at Kasparov. It is not Radjabov's job to correct the mistake made by the journalists. It is the job of the journalists themselves. The whole world knows why Radjabov got this prize. Kasparov should know too. He has no right to question the journalist committee's decision anyway. All such decisions could be criticized, they are all subjective.
