    Re: Fantastic Interview with GM Seirawan

    Here is a quote from that interview that should be of particular interest to this board.
    "As regards sponsors, I think this is a top down approach. Here what I have in mind is the crown jewel of chess, the World Chess Championship title, universally acknowledged to be one of the most important intellectual titles in the world. This title has been the providence of FIDE for some time. Here FIDE has made a hash of its own title. When the rules are without sense, the sponsors flee. So even to begin to think about how do we attract sponsors to chess we must first realize that our most important events, world and national championships, must have sensible rules, sensible regulations and attract the best players. Failure in this most obvious top down approach means no or limited sponsorships for lesser events." -Seirawan

      Kasparov got even two opponents for a candidate match with new (at that time) rules. Both failed to materialized, and shortly after Kasparov retired. By the way, the whole process was initiated by Seirawan (a road to Prague )
