I definitely don't think that Kramnik fears Kasparov. I think he is using the power his title gives him to try and reform chess. My prediction is Kasparov will win his match becoming fide champ and leave fide to play Kramnik. Then sponsors will recognize only one chess body the ACP. Hopefully that will be enough for fide to collapse. Regards Tony
