I think that's the best idea. Sort of like the tournament to get
Alekine's successor, but more players could be involved.


Yes, probably it would be the best solution taking into account the fair
play rules but FIdE seems to be a little bit away from such an honest
solution and paradoxically Kasparov and Kramnik lose the most being in
favour like e.g. Karpov in his match in Switzerland against Anand. I mean
they lose a little bit of their credibility and legitimacy.
