Danailov: 'Rematch starts March 3rd, 2007'
Of course Wch title loser Topalov, on his arrival at Sofia, Bulgaria, was asked about a possible rematch against Kramnik. His manager Danailov reacted as determined as ever: "FIDE regulations allow every world champion that has lost the title to challenge the title holder. The total prize fund is 1,5 million dolars. We will find this money and will request the game to take place in Sofia. We will offer an exact date, 3rd of March 2007."Thanks to Goran my attention was drawn to the Topalov fansite where a more lengthy interview with Topalov can be read as well.
