Because then you could not know the current standing. Kramnik faired poorly in the Corus tour. in >Wijk aan Zee, he was only in 7th place! Kramnik rarely does well in these >events. Every one has bad tournaments. Even Kasparov. I DO NOT recognize him as the Classical WCC. He will NEVER give Kasparov >a return match. He'll LOSE, and he KNOWS it. Why would he lose? Any evidence in favour of this argument? I can see only one, but that is showing in the opposite direction: their match was won by Kramnyik.
