om...
The World Champion isn't always the best player in the world..
Post WW1 Lasker was weaker than Capablanca.
Alekhine was arguably weaker than Capablanca.
Euwe was weaker than Alekhine, and maybe Botvinnik
Smyslov, Tal and Petrosian could all be argued to be weaker than
Botvinnik, Bronstein and Keres..
Karpov Weaker than Fischer..
and up to today Kramnik weaker than Kasparov or Anand.

But Kramnik's chess sure is boring.. he makes Petrosian look
exciting..

Anyone who finds Kramnik's chess boring doesn't understand the subtleties of
the game, the difficulty of winning with seemingly nothing. It's far more
exciting than, say, seeing Polgar come up with two-move cheapos.
