Originally posted by Talem16I prefer the old system of matches rather than a tournament and I don't believe FIDE world champions will carry the same weight under the new system. Kasparov remained the strongest player in the world despite his omission from their 'history' for a number of years of his reign.

Argentina is well known as a nice play to organize such events.
(ask Ragnorak, he knows my country 🙂 )
But a caveat: In october we have the convention of American Presidents here, in Mar del Plata.
Security measures are being taken.
But we are a target for terrorist attacks.
🙁
I really hope that the visit of Bush et al don't cause trouble here :'(

Originally posted by Talem16Es relativo, Talem. Puede que desde el punto de vista turístico sea así.

Pero nosotros tenemos que "despegar" en serio, y hasta que no eliminemos la corrupción en la dirigencia política, vamos a seguir siendo un país de pobres.
Tengo entendido que a la Cumbre Latinoamericana asistirán 34 presidentes y cancilleres.
Gracias por tu interés en el tema.
Un abrazo
