In 2002 Bessel Kok organised a meeting between FIDE, Kramnik, the Braingame champion and Kasparov the highest ELO which to settle the world championship’s schism created with the breakaway of Kasparov in 1993 was organised in Prague. The idea was to reunite both world champions into a final match which was supposed to be held in 2005. The deal collapsed after FIDE could not find any venue for the match Kasimzhanov, FIDE World Champion and Kasparov and therefore the winner could not meet V. Kramnik who beat P. Leko in October 2004. Eventually the schism was settled in 2006 with the victory of Kramnik over Topalov.

Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they’re going to know the truth when I do this book!
