If 51% of this "democratic" world team are friends of the same GM then it is
kasparov against a GM and not kasparov against the world.
I suspect that it is kasparov against a GM and in this case the GM("world") has
chances.
I do not believe that the world could get a position that is not a clear loss
after 54 moves if it was a real democratic vote of players who do not understand
about chess more than masters.
