I'm afraid I have to side with Peter on this one. Kramnik has been beaten by
Kasparov since the title for one thing, and he also recently decided he would
not play the superfinal against Kasparov despite the agreement that the winner
of both matches would play to unify the titles. I don't think Kramnik is trying
to reform anything at all and never heard one single word on his part suggesting
that was his intention. Alekhine, move over, you've got company.
