U do not misunderstand and get angry. In that case tell me Why is Kasparov
involved in reunification because he clearly thinks that he is better than
others (current poerformances suggest something else)and thus qualified to play
in semifinal (or should we say finals as he is bound to beat Kasimdazov). U see
it is clearly going on in the format u have suggested. Why to blame Anand he is
just part of this system. Anand for many years is playing at the top( For the
past 8 years probably in top 3)still he does not get such qualification for the
semis but KRAMNIK playing probably some years less than Anand gets the same.
Isn't this going on in the same mode i.e. who is better than the other

my question is why Anand has to go through qualification Match to play Kramnik
when both were champions at the same time. Yes u can say that Anand lost his
title but remember Kramnik refused to play again in the rematch for these many
years. On what basis do u think Anand to be weaker than Kramnik at the moment.

Also pl. tell me after asking yourself whether Kasimdazov and Leko both r
stronger than Anand?

If u dont believe in the ELO ratings atleast believe in current performances
