Chess players don’t go out much
Just sit at home and push their pawns
But every weekend through the internet
Come words of wisdom from Hangin
If you want to know about the Kramnik vs. Topalov match
If you want to know how to be a true world champion
If you want to know about the stains on FIDE
You can read it in the Sunday Chess Today papers, Sunday Chess Today papers
FIDE HAS NO
CLAIM TO THE WORLD CHAMPION TITLE

Alex Baburin comments:
I think a lot of what mat said makes sense, but i feat that FIDE and its
top management won't listen. Despite some recent successes, this
organization still has a poor record. It is run in an authoritarian way, has
made a number of dubious decisions in the past few years (i.e.. time
controls, holding one of its championships in Libya) and breaks its promises
easy- just ask Kasparov! Maybe things will change if a new team comes
to power in May, 2006 in Tunic. I don't know ....
