The way to the title should be a long hard road to travel. Buying your way to the front gate isn't fair.

This would corrupt and make a mockery of the world chess championship process. The match would go to the highest bidder rather than the better player. Rather like how today most U.S. politicians get elected, then vote the way those pocket books want them to vote.

Do not let money control the noble game which is chess! Only the greatest chess minds should have a chance at the World crown; certainly not the richest. In the name of all chess lovers around the globe, please do NOT ruin our championship this way. Malcom Marcone Montréal, Canada.
