If the FIDE convalidates the challenge offered by Danailov (Kramnik is forced to accept it) I think we'll have the circus going around again. But take note that it will take place in Bulgaria... sigh

Anyway, the point I've tried to make was the paranoid attitude from Topalov (see the 1st post in this thread).
Originally posted by CrazyLilTingWell, yes, but FIDE won't be accepting it for a variety of reasons (mainly timing). I should have phrased what I said a little better, though - it should read more like "If this match actually had any chance of going off, the fact that it was in Bulgaria would be the least surprising bit."
