Only in this way can we see who is the best. Leko does not deserve a second chance just because he drew the match with Kramnik. Bronstein did not get a rematch with Botvinnik when their match was a draw. However, I have no doubt that Leko would qualify and go far in a candidates tournament. The same goes for Anand. He had a chance against Kasparov. He also had another chance to play Kasparov in 99 or 2000 and declined. Kramnik took his opportunity and made the most of it. Sadly, With Kasparov retired I don't see enough money coming in to chess to make candidates tournaments possible. Maybe soon there will be no classical world champion, Just fide champion.
