Frederic Friedel, a well known personality from
ChessBase, conducted a
long interview with World Champion Vladimir Kramnik
during the Miskolc rapid chess match against Peter Leko in April this year. The
interview was recorded in video, with a fairly comprehensive
transcription and divided into 4 parts.This second part was published on
01.06.2007 on the ChessBase website. Why is Veselin Topalov, former FIDE
world champion, not playing in the Mexico world championship? Is it fair that if
Kramnik does not win it he gets a rematch? Would he accept the winner of Mexico
as the new champion? What is the ideal format of a world championship:
tournament or match? How many games, what time controls? Kramnik answers in part
two of our video interview.
