thanks for the correction scottrf i appreciate it. But a grammatical/ spelling error does not weaken my position. Look at sports it is not about the champions but the champsionship format that grabs the fan's attention, hence that is what my format will achieve. It will be a shoe -in indeed

It IS ridiculous. I presume that GMs #5-2 all have the right to challenge the #1. If they time it right, we could have a new world champ every week, never mind the chaos and the hundreds of thousands of miles in intercontinental flights being logged up by GMs #6-20. Guaranteed to keep the public interest at boiling point.

This system is a format that will be used to crown only one world champion. My system wil create the rankings for the world championship event. Please read before making clueless arguments that have been answered. And i didnt think i would have to make it explicit, i guess i am the only who studied business in university, but the challeneges wil be an event, a mircocosm to world championship event. Frist, the challenger will notify the GM then which the challenger will notify the chess governing body. Then a match up would be decided to allow time for sponsorships and tv or internet  viewing to be setup. Basically PR, so can imagine how much mmoney would be collected from these events which happen monthly and then no to mention the world champsionship event. Also, there is possibility for movement within 1-5 amongst themselves, which will also be an event in itself. Money, Money, Money. Which attracts higher payouts better competition. I told you already I am a 360 thinker

On the spot thinking this is not that difficult people. I do not plan what i am writing about thus the grammatical/ spelling  errors.   I do not have an outline and then look up big words online. I just write from the top of my head

look what i told scott

The only complaint i have with any community where intelligence is high, is that people hate to give credit where credit is due. Like there is no great point (other than their own). It's people who try and find the slightest thing wrong and then tear, but never want to acknowledge somebody when they have a good idea. I find that funny. But i am planning on working on that problem. Be the change in the world that you want to see-- Gandhi. i am only takling about a select few in the community

I´m trying to imagine this system applied to the football (soccer) World Cup.

Mindboggling.

no, give me a day. Just kidding remember only 20 chess players are needed. Very low maintenance, the only problem is the sponsors, which with this format i think within the first year you will see a higher return than the current standard. Also, give a year for the players to acclimate to the format. then you will not only see strategy on the chess board, but also the strategy used in my chess format.

definitely include punjii traps that open up under the players chair the moment they loose, filled with fire. That should spice it up a bit.

anything for the sponsors

Reminds me of my suggestion for the winter Olympics to combine the biathlon (cross country ski/target shooting) with ski jumping - the ski jumpers from one nation are shot at with paintballs by members of the opposing nations while they are in the air. Another idea which unfortunately didn´t catch on, despite my petitions to the IOC with demographically supported proofs of the expected huge profits from the TV rights.

Had you considered pieces that explode in the GM'S hand if they make a blunder - that way you would surely get the kevlar gloves manufacturers sponsorship.

 

Absolutely brilliant! The detonator in each piece is connected to a receiver which is in turn linked to the latest version of Houdini; shrapnel should also I think be incorporated.

Well I can say that you seems to have the idea of viewing figures well sussed as we say over here in the uk.

Punjii traps would be an excellent addition and bring the punters in.

Perhaps you have thought of other crowd pleasing enhancements already ?

Oil spills so they accidently move the queen into a protected square?

Take the top 8 rated players except the champion.  

Event 1: 4  16 game matches seeded by rating.  Top rated plays lowest.

Event 2: about 6 months later, 2 16 game matches set same way.

event 3: about 6 months later, semi final match 16 games.

Final event 8 months later, World championship.

 

If Carlsen wins this then the first set of matches would go like this:

 

 

Kramnik v Gelfand

Aronian v Topalov

Grischuck v Anand

Nakamura v Caruana

 

I find it hard to believe sponsors are more interested in yet another boring tournament instead of this event.

You can't just start a thread with an idea like this and not expect people to argue with it, so please accept their opinions and don't start an argument :)

Don't forget Kasimdzhanov.

I want people to argue with me that is my point. I want to hear the pros and the cons.
