According to GM Mikhail Golubev in the latest issue of Chess Today (http://www.chesstoday.net/), here is the view from the Bulgarian side:
The Bulgarian chess federation and Danailov himself are [still] not protesting officially, because [in principle] they have nothing against the organisation of the match in Lviv. They understand efforts of Kirsan Ilyumzhinov and other involved people. But the Bulgarian side waited for six months for the [Lviv] money to be found, and they cannot wait endlessly.
Many people do not understand that [initially] it was FIDE who proposed to organise the match in Bulgaria. Danailov also said that endless postponements of the deadline have negative impact on the image of FIDE as a world chess organisation.
They know that there’s no money. This is FIDE problem, not the Bulgarians.
Is there a possibility that this “money” is coming from organized crime (diamonds in Africa?), and players will be forced (and their life threaten) to return this money back to FIDE after the championship ends. Topalov was clear that his life was threatened in Elisa (unless he lost to Kramnik and who knows what else) that he would “never leave Russia”.
Have you ever been in Russia? If not, please shut up.
It’s more likely you get shot in USA than anything will happen to you in Russia.
Money? Beeeuuuh! What about honour?
I remember at the St.KITTS and NEVIS CHESS TOURNAMENT FOR COMPLETE PSYCOPATHS. I could hear the THOUGHTS of all the CHESS PLAYERS. They all wanted to KILL ME! But I am immune to mind powers because when I made myself ambassador of ST. KITTS and NEVIS, I made a special name tag that had the word Jedi written on it. So I am not only an AMBASSADOR I am a JEDI too!
So, I implore the help of GEORGE LUCAS, OBIWAN KENOBI, THE POPE, THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND, MARY KATE & ASHLEY, BOOGIE THE DOG, and PAUL TRUONG to keep me safe from evil SITH CHESS PLAYERS and Girl Scouts who are all planning to KILL ME!
