Hi

Kramnik receives little sympathy from me

Many people considered Kasparov the best player alive

Kramnik had years to play Kasparov but failed to do so

exclaiming Kasparov had to prove his worth before being entitled to a match

so I see little to suggest Kramnik should recieve more than he was willing to

give and his current position of 4th or 5th just is not enough to put Kramnik

at the head of the list imo
