$120,000.00 ? Well, Gata has enough money to prepare for the world championship without the help of the USCF.

paul, you probably are right, but what of our good friend Yasser, who was according to Sonas, in the world top ten or fifteen off and on in the eighties? he did not win a big event like this, but much else? as i recally, you were next to him at the NY Athletic Club, and my comment is intended fully constructively. warm regards, David K Seattle

If the matches were held in, say, London or New York rather than Siberia I expect live attendance would be a lot higher.

Bobby Fischer is still the best.

Fantastic result for Kamsky, I hope he thrashes Topalov when they play. Bad luck for Shirov - I feel genuinely sorry for him but it wasn’t to be.
