It will never happen...why you ask? Because Shirov is too dangerous.
Remember how Alekhine always skirted around the requests from
Nimzowitsch and his supporters for a title shot? Same deal.
Kasparov might win...but then again he might lose...and don't get me
going about him and Kramnik and that match.
