The Pono case is a
different story, but he had his chance, no matter if he was betrayed by
FIDE
or if his management is nuts.


I`m of a different opinion. Of course I`ve heard many opinions like yours :
let him play with big "bad" Kaspy maybe he would learn sth but on the other
hand the match would be organized against any civilized rules.

Remember FIscher withdrawing from Sousse ? Many people thought that he
missed a chance to become a WCCHamp then. ;-)

BTW I don`t think Kramnik has a big legitimacy as a reigning WCChamp... Even
his sponsor Braingames dissoluted and dissappeared ;-)
