You
gotta keep on looking now

If the above article isn’t reason enough to go back to the old
style world championship process, I don’t know what is. We need to go
back to the zonal tournaments, interzonal tournaments, and candidate matches
culminating into the World Championship Match.
I’ve already addressed the problems
with the FIDE Knockout World Championship. FIDE should break up
and open up this process so that more sponsors can bid.
Spread this
process and the cost over time and geography.
Spread the chess love around.
Allow cities or countries with up and coming chess talent to host a
part of this process. Allow
the local people to root for their homeboys and homegirls and see some of the
international chess stars.
