You mentioned Alekhine as a WC; he avoided a rematch with Capablance and instead played a series of matches with the hand-picked opponent Bogolyugubov. If anything, his title has less wieght than Kasparov's who played 3 rematches with Karpov. But you are right, we can argue this until blue in the face. My closing argument is: I cannot respect a WC format in which luck is a primary factor. Two games just cannot provide a trustworthy match result beteen two players. If it could, then how come the finals and semifinals aren't 2 games? The fact that FIDE has made the 6 and 4 shows just how random this whole thing is. James
