I'm sure he wants to unify the title. Nothing would confirm his legacy more. However, fide has shown no signs of reform and as long as Kasparov is in their camp they have no incentive to change. I predict after the Kasparov-Kashimdzhanov match Kasparov will again leave fide and play Kramnik. What happens then I don't know. That is if Kasparov wins, and given his age and other interests this is not a given. Regards Tony
