This match is ridiculous. Of course kasim won’t want to beat his employer. For heavens sake…it’s sort of pathetic to think about to tell you the truth…Anand might consider playing someone worth playing ….of course he won[t play someone like in the top ten….It’s almost as ridiculous as Alekhine Bogolyubov matches…a joke. Chess should be treated a little more seriously than that.
Another lie by Bill Goichberg, the most corrupt chess politician in the US., to get one of his cronies elected:
On his website, Bill Goichberg writes,
MIKE NIETMAN: Current Executive Board member and USCF Secretary, senior programmer/analyst for a large non-profit hospital, President of the Wisconsin Chess Association since 1987, organizer of many tournaments including the 1990 World Youth …
Hmmmm. So Mike Nietman organized the 1990 World Youth in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin? Interesting. I was there in attendance. I raised thousands of dollars for the event and yet the name Mike Nietman was unknown to me at that time.
From the time Singapore withdrew its bid to FIDE to run the World Youth in the spring of 1990, I worked with Don Schultz to raise money and find a site for the event lest it be cancelled in its entirety. Schultz was going to give up when I showed him how a financial model for the event could work. Schultz used that model and the thousands of dollars I raised from donations to organize the event. Strangely, Bill Goichberg gives credit to Mike Nietman instead of Don Schlultz who had a relative on site and had obtained the FIDE bid.
If I raised the money and created the financial model and Don Schlultz picked up the ball with FIDE and ran with it, what organization did Mike Nietman do? Tables and chairs?
Don Schlutz always claimed there was a (undocumented) loss on the event. Did Mike Nietman pick up the check for the loss? Don claims not. Don said he suffered the loss.
If Mike Nietman was a volunteer on staff, it certainly does not make him the organizer. Even I would give credit to Don Schultz. Perhaps Bill Goichberg (who was not there in Fond du Lac) should quiz Mike Nietman on whether he really wants that claim on his resume.

Who do you think? Kas is a fine player but Anand is better.
I don’t much care about this match.
Who is Kasimdzhanov? Talk about Aronian.
Even if Anand is no longer the *Absolute best* rapid player but is still formidable and one of the top 3. (Quite possibly the very best of all time in rapid.)
Kasim stands no chance.
