Top of the World

Topalov Wins M-Tel Masters
Reporter talks with Gata Kamsky and asks - Is the currently acting system for defining the World Champion optimal? Which is the best system in your view?
- Gata Kamsky: Well, there is an on-going controversy with the current world championship system, especially with the latest announcement by the FIDE president which came as a complete surprise to everyone because, as far as I know, everyone who were surveyed with the proposed list of suggestions decided for a formula which was different from the one that was announced. A lot of mysterious things have been going on ever since the unification match has happened and these developments were worrisome.
