        I hope Kramnik won’t play and will get forfeited. I rather see Topalov there.

        This will be a great tournament with or without Kramnik.

        Eh. With or without Kramnik, it’s hard to regard this as a World Championship. There are many strong super-tournaments each year. What makes this a championship and the others not? The World Championship is a one-on-one.

        This will be so exciting. I love the double rr format. People like Kramnik can’t cheat anymore.

        It’s completely absurd to deliberately not have both Kramnik and Topalov there.
        FIDE must be the stupidest, dumbest outfit on earth.

        I am a fan of Kramnik and I liked the way he defeated Topalov amidst all the controversy. But he should play in Maxico. It will be a great injustice to players like Anand if Mexico just turns out to be a Qualifier to play Kramnik in 2008. In a fair world, if Kramnik refuses to play, FIDE should strip his title and replace him with Topalov in Mexico.
        A world champion should play and prove his supremacy in all possible ways. Roger Federer still starts from Round 1. He will be laughed at if he says I have won this n times and I will play in the finals directly.

        This is a real world championship. Matches like Kasparov – Kramnik and Kramnik – Leko is a joke. Kramnik is just as good as Kasparov in destroying chess.

        I think Carlsen first have to deal with Aronian and after that another heavy player, so it will not be easy, but if he can make it ti the final , everything can happends…. goooooooo Mags!!!
