GM's Leko and Svidler play a match for the FRC >worldchampionship there as well. No It is not world championship. World championship is something that everyone is allowed to play. Every player can become the world champion in chess in case of playing well enough in the right tournaments. People without the name peter leko or adams or Svidler have no way to become world champions in FRC. It means that there was no world championship in FRC. Saying that leko or svidler is the world champion is a joke. By the same principle I can play shuffle chess with a friend and after beating him declare myself as the world champion in shuffle chess.
