If at all, any other event was to be shown under the 'Candidates' column, it should have been Mexico City (2007), although I would prefer it to be continually shown under 'World Championship' column.<br />When you can show two events under 'World Championship' column, viz., Mexico City (2007) and Kramnik-Topalov (2006) for the 'Cycle' 2005-07, why cannot you show Anand-Kramnik (2008) along with Anand-Topalov (2010) for the 'Cycle' 2007-10? This beats me completely. Do you mean to say that Anand-Kramnik was not a World Championship Match but a Candidates Match? In this case, I will argue that Anand-Topalov (2010)was not at all a World Championship Match but a Candidates Match for the 'Cycle' 2008-11, and it should be put under 'Candidates' column along with Candidates event (2010).<br />By the way, apart from these small disagreements, I admire your site very much and am awed by the amount of labour and time that may have been spent on putting up and continuously maintaining the site. It is the definitive site for the World Chess Championships.<br />Best regards.R K Hansdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368809411324412262noreply@blogger.com
