Kasparov has defended his title 5 times since winning it in 1985 (an average of once every 2 years from 1986 to 1995). The real problem is that he has not defended it since 1995 (and so it is starting to get a little obsolete or fictitous as you put it). Four and a third years is a long time in the chess world and people are starting to get a little antsy about it. Especially with farces such as the FIDE championships going on (and yes, although I respect Khalifman for winning this last match, I still do not consider it world chess championship calibre play; nor did I consider the previous Karpov/Anand match to be of world chess championship duration). > >> >>> or something, it's about ime he does that, >>>he's starting to apear more & more like Mr. Fischer every day. >> >>Yes, Fischer was also the very best.

Unfortunatly Fischer seem to >be driving around with lug nuts rattling around in his hub caps. Man! That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. I'm still chuckling over it. Gotta remember that line the next time KarinsMom says something from way out in left field. KarinsDad :)
