This is all a beat into Shirov's face.
I am sure Shirov would have no chance against Kasparov. Anand won't have a
chance too but he will perform better.
What sucks is that Shirov qualified for a championship match and now Kasparov
decides that noone wants this match so the more attractive match Kasp-Anand will
be setup.
Why should anyone care anymore for Kasparovs qualifications if he doesn't stick
to this handling?
