I don’t think anyone (except die-hard Topalov and kamsky fans) even cares about this match anymore.
I don’t get it. Why did Illyhumzhinov say he guaranteed the match in Ukraine and then that apparrently meant nothing. His guarantee should have finalised the deal.
He does not guarantee the place of the match unless it’s held in Elista – he can’t force the imaginary local organizers to organize.
All he could guarantee is the prize fund…

This is not true!
Ilumsinov is just arch-liar and manipulator! Everithing what he said about participation of Topa in WCC is a lie! Remember: Contract for match Topalov – Kamski not be signed, while is not ended match Anand-Kramnik! If Kramnik win, than wait for new match Kramnik-Topalov! Everithing what Ilumzinov do has one aim – to save crown for Mr Kramnik and to cut ways and possibilities for Topa to play for the crown!
Shame!
Did you have to pay to get on FIDE website, or was it free?
All this is rubbish.
The only way to save FIDE would be to have *only*, for decisions related to chess, chess grandmasters,
instead of the dishonnest clowns one can see for the moment.
