Topalov vs Kamsky Match Update

When we just thought all World class matches can be held smoothly, like the Anand-Kramnik one, FIDE once again is finding it difficult to pull off the same trick with the Topalov - Kamsky match. The match is uncertain yet again.

After a direct attack from Bill Goichberg (US Chess Federation), Kirsan Ilyumzhinov has come out with another confusing announcement. The ball is now in the Bulgarian Federation's court and the match may be postponed until February or March 2009, if all things don't get sorted out. There is now a deadline of November 14 for the players and Bulgaria to accept the offer to hold the match. The previous ball holder was Alexander Chernenko.
