World Championship United, for now

Well in a match that will be more remembered for the .potty conspiracy, held in about the most remote part of the world imaginable, FIDE has finally managed to unite the Chess Crown and we can once again say we have a true World Champion.. Vlad Kramnik. Congrats to him. He fought through alot of adversity in the match, and I'm even gonna put myself out there and say I don't believe he was cheating when he used the bathroom 50 times in 4 hours.

So until, another fued breaks out, FIDE has managed to provide us with a single, unified chess champion. This is good news. Now lets work up a GOOD system to determine a challenger, and make it a cycle that can be played out over and over again. So that we can get back to exciting, interesting, high caliber chess again

Amen to that! More great chess, less silly stuff.

Ho long until kasporov comes out of retirement, I wonder?
