Vladimir Kramnik will continue the match subject to the condition to clarify his rights regarding game 5.

Due to the facts that:

• FIDE breached the contract.
• An illegal protest of Mr. Topalov has been approved by the former FIDE Appeals Committee (this decision was already final and confirmed by the FIDE President in writing)
• Game 5 should have never been started under these conditions

Mr. Kramnik will follow the strong advise from his lawyers to sue FIDE after this match has been concluded.

Best regards,

Carsten Hensel
(Manager to Vladimir Kramnik, Classical World Chess Champion)
