I cannot take the side of Kramnik, Topalov or FIDE. I believe all sides committed errors in the process. I know that Topalov’s fans will defend Topalov, Kramnik’s fans will defend Kramnik and friends of FIDE will defend FIDE. I am not here to change anyone’s mind.

Just like in chess, there is no takeback. The past cannot be undone. The question now is what can be done to satisfy ALL parties so game 6 will continue timely and the match will go on.

Attacking Kramnik, Topalov or FIDE will not solve the problem. It will only add more hatred, mistrust, anger and nonsense that we do not need. I truly hope that everyone will take a DEEP breath, relax and start to think in a calm, cool and collective fashion.

What is the bottom line? Chess fans want this match to be settled on the board. It is in the best interest for FIDE, Topalov and Kramnik to finish this match on the board. The world is watching us. Let’s not continue to act foolishly! Let’s put the best interest of chess first!
