 I have to disagree with you. If Kasparov could fix matches he would still be
World Champion. What does Leko gain by not becoming World Champion? Lets not
forget that Shirov refused a contract to play Kasparov! Good! He saved himself a
severe whooping. I agree that Anand is left out in the cold. This is bad. Let's
hope reunification goes thru because I dont think Kasparov can beat Kramnik.
Then we will have a unified Champion and hopefully we can get sponsors to
organnize normal qualifiers and candidates matches. I have no doubt that if this
happens Anand will soon get his chance at the title. As for Moro, Svidler,
Ivanchuk, and Topalov I dont think their in the same category as Kramnik, Leko,
Anand, and Kasparov.

P.S. If kramnik and Leko fixed the match why so many short draws?
