The WCC is already a mess, and this idea is a step in the wrong direction, and will only make things worse.

You can't buy free shots at the Chess Crown. You have to earn the right - same as everyone else.

It's unfair that some will have to go through difficult games, opponents and win the Candidates Tournament whereas others will be able to buy their opportunity to win the World Championship.

Both Wesley So and Jan Timman make valid points. Let today's top chess players make a sound decision for the future of modern chess.

The World Championship should not be for sale or it loses all sporting value. If we do not need rules and a cycle, the next step is to exclude FIDE. We have seen before how awful that is.
