 Why is FIDE favouring V Kramnik always ??

 Why only he is allowed to play the world championship this oct. against current World Champion V Anand?? 

 Even last time he was given world championship match against the then world champion V Topolov (even though V anand was the then world no.2 & he deserved to play Topolov)!

            Unfair ,isn't it?? 

            we dont know how FIDE cook up these matches!?

We all know how the world works in these days....The only question that remains to answer if we will to continue ALLOWING it to happen!!!! Its entirely up to us, because as we all know, consumers have the last word. Whatever the product, whatever the service. We know that certain things are not coincidences, but because we cant actually see them we dont respond. Its the common example:

If you put a frog in boiling water it will immediately jump out. If you put in cool water and then start boiling it, it will stay there till it dies.

Without wanting to sound morbid, this is the gradual process the public has been manipulated by the last few thousands of years, whether that is the American People, or even us chess fans. WILL THE FROG WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT? That's the million dollar question.

Both Kramnik and Topalov were recognized as world champions. The whole point of the match was to unify the two world championships--something most fans wanted, something that an Anand-Topalov match would not have settled. Anand is undisputed world champion rather than one of two world champions because of it.

Russians have been running fide since its inception, Fischer complained of it decades ago, it was going on before Fischer and continues to this day, Kramnik is Russian.....DUH

 FIDE has been corrupt for a number of years now and as long as they get away with it it will never change. Back in the days of the candidates matches you had a true champion, now chess is just like Boxing evryone wants a title.
