We hereby acknowledge the receipt of your Appeal dated October the 2nd, 2006 addressed to this Committee.
We have taken note of your arguments, however we should like to point out that the appointment of the new Appeals Committee does not mean that the new one appointed has the power of overruling any decisions taken by the former Appeals Committee which are absolutely final.
According to the stated above, the new Appeals Committee has the power to decide on any appeal submitted starting from the 6th Round of the match.
Under this consideration, the Appeals Committee decided that no fee shall be charged from your prize money due to your appeal dated October the 2nd 2006.
Truly yours,
Appeals Committee
Jorge Vega, Chairman
Boris Kutin

WTF they are!!
no more no less
HOpe this isn’t a case of gettiing out of the frying pan and int the fire, or what ever the english equivalent for the dutch expression with rain and raindrops might be:.
Sorry for my previous comments.
But they are right: since the beginning the only who can overule a decision of the appeal comittee, it’s Kirsan!!
And he didn’t!
KI can clean up that mess since the beginning…
Not easy task when fire is burning all around ;oX
Then: who will be the hero or the zero?…

My Dear dcax, Really, must you use this language and with it bad grammar? I can understand how you feel about this…indeed, I feel similar distaste to this whole affair. Yes, I know you retracted and apologized…thank you. I am sure Sunshine thinks you are an abuser, but I do not. I’ve had similar outbursts in my life, much to my own embarrassment. Please, in the future…think before you allow the heat of the moment to let you “go off” half-cocked. Until the next time, keep your powder dry.
As my previous went to show me:
I totally aggree with you gm1 todd.
I can look like a kind of abuser…but i’m trying to explain my thinking in what is not my native language,so a little bit hard.
In the future, i ‘ll try to do my best to refrain so fast reactions, it can be faulty, i do recognize.
thx for your post, it goes in the way i ‘m thinking: in the future i’ll stick with the “tournez 7 fois sa langue dans sa bouche avant de parler”, i don’t know the english one.
greetings.

Sir, I will apologize for my own ignorance…sorry. I thought, quite incorrectly, that English was your native language. You are a better person than I because you have the courage to attempt to use another language. My attempts in Spanish (my wife’s language) are full of errors and often not very artful. Please forgive my assumption. Sincerely yours
qm1 todd:
You have no need to do so!
It’s all my own fault!My lake of knowledge in words or expressions drives me to use the only words or synonyms or “fasle friendly ones” to write.
So the words have a power and a mean that change depending of the context… shame on me ;oX
I should be more carefull now before writing something. So i refrain myself to write at first since noon.
greetings!
As I stated before, Kirsan should have used his authority (given to him in the contract) to reverse the forfeit.
But he chose not to.
Theoretically Kramnik could still direct an appeal to him, and he could stil overrule this decision.
The more so, since this wasn’t a decision of the appeals committee in the first place. Arbiter Geurt Gijssen started the clock, not knowing what to do else. That’s what happened.
But what would Kirsan decide if directly appealed on this matter?
I’m afraid no different than he’s done so far. The vested interests are to great. Better to have Kramnik run away, than Topalov.
Still, if I were Kramnik, I would opt for this line.
If a direct appeal to the FIDE president would also be rejected, FIDE’s bad faith would be evident for all to see.
After that, he should withdraw from the match. In the interest of the chessworld, he should do so. The chessworld is not served with upholding a World Chess Union, whose french acronym FIDE, is by all sensible persons now known as a synonym for corruption, faithlesness and deceit.
Maybe then, out of the wrackage of this titlematch, something new and decent might sprout.
