GAME 12

Kramnik is world champion!

at least in my book. The chism remains.

Kramnik is the people's world champion, no matter what happens with the blitzgames.

Remember there is a game to be played(game 5), the result could be negative or positive for him, so nobody is world champion, its a Draw.

Of course I also think that Topalov should promote the playing of game five, because if I was him , I wouldn't be satisfied with this draw.

If Topalov promoted the playing of game 5, he would regain my allegiance. He must play GAME 5 with Kramnik. If it is a draw in a "played" GAME 5, then and only then should they begin the blitz games. But, if Topalov does not play that 5th GAME against Kramnik and show some character (not to mention apologizing publicly), I will never again be a Topalov fan. I will only be a Kramnik fan.

With that said, a lawsuit by Kramnik - if GAME 5 is played - is imminent, and this World Championship match may be decided by the courts instead. What a sat situation for we chess fans. Pitiful! An abomination! Fischer would never allow this crap! He would have flown home and told everyone to kiss his rear end. Can you imagine what Fischer would have said if he were in Kramnik's position? Oh BOY!

Toppy would have to win game 5 to maintain the tie...

Yeah, true. But, I just wish the two greatest chess players at present would both come to realize they are only hurting chess fans everywhere. Pathetic! Be a man, Topalov! Play game 5!

Both players agreed to the conditions before hand (own rest rooms etc) and it was in the contract. When the decision was made to change the conditions FIDE breached the contract, not only that but they also gave video footage of Kramnik in his rest area to Topalov's team. Kramnik said the other day if he doesn't get a replay of game 5 he plans to sue FIDE,

*edit*

lol didn't see this went on for 3 pages, anyway that's what I think about it.

In which court Kramnik will file the lawsuit?

If in USA, we know what the smart lawyers do here.

He'd better be prepaired to pay his $500K from the match for attorney fees as well.

In addition the chess public here doesn't seem to see reasonable reasons for him not to play game 5.

Time to get down to earth.

Kramnik is obviously the better player. Even if Topalov played and won game 5, he still wouldn't have won it all.
