Perhaps Kramnik is still the best but all the tours around the qualification, its very structure and the outcome so far leaves doubt and makes it easier to understand Magnus Carlsens decision.
What about the fairness in the outcome of Kramnik versus Radjabov duel?
What about Aronian being eliminated in this somewhat hazardous manner?
And the value of the title will be accordingly diminished.
So the fine and symphatic player Kramnik, if he really is the best opponent , certainly deserves a more fair procedure!
Kramnik is still best.
