The important fact is that shirov beated kramnik so he is qualified to play against kasparov. After the match shirov-kasparov kramnik can be qualified to play against the winner between shirov and Kasparov in the normal way. >I'm sure Kasparov would welcome it, and the easy payday.

Kasparov should play against the player who is qualified to play against him and not against another player. Uri
