His men? Which of them? His FIDE cronies whose sole purpose is to grant him infinite rematches, the KGB who was obviously transmitting information to him or his two thousand payed servants who are constantly surfing chess forums to badmouth Topalov?
I am not quite up-to-date with Kramnik’s conspiracy, but at least we can exclude that someone here feels genuine sympathy for him.

It looks like all responces were written by kramnik himself or by his men.

Why is it so hard for FIDE to install the old championship cycle. This new cycle is totally convoluted and un-neccessary. They are twisting everything around to give Topalov a shot at the title as if Chess is boxing. One would have thought that with a unified champion now decided we would get back to restoring prestige to the championship crown, but alas, this does not seem to be the direction of FIDE… how many more years of this nonsense will the chess world have to endure!!

These videos are simply history in the making -
what would the Chess World give to have videos of Philidor, Morphy, Lasker, Steinitz, Lasker, Botvinnik, Tal, Petrosian, etc. Great job- you are doing the Chess world a huge service.
