GO KRAMNIK!!
Everyone says his a boring player. But at least GMs are in unison for once that he has honour and has seen the bigger picture for the chess world. I never pray over sports. Yes, i have never prayed for Spurs to win. Cos usually they lose and then i will have to question my faith. HAHA. But i really really feel like praying for Kramnik to win.
To be accused of cheating is such a low blow. With no sufficient evidence and exaggerating it as well. And ppl never knew chess fans could have emotion.
Dear Vladimir,
Through absolutely no fault of your own, you have suffered the consequences of an unprecedented combination of unethical behaviour from your opponent and glaring incompetence, for lack of a stronger word, on the part of the Appeals Committee.
In spite of evidently unfair treatment, which has not only resulted in your being forfeited one game, but also being subjected to petty attacks and ridiculous accusations from the opposing camp, you have agreed to continue the match for the sake of reunifying the chess world. This is a very impressive decision. It testifies to your remarkable sense of honour and is worthy of your true status of World Champion.
Regardless of the final result of this match you have earned the deepest respect of your fellow Grandmasters and colleagues as well as countless chess fans around the world. Thank you for being a model sportsman in a time and place where so many circumstances turned against you. You deserve to win.
With unfailing support,

Hey Abel,
Not entirely related to your post but it is about a certain chess player. Did you know that Arianne Caoili is in Dancing with the Stars? Thought it might be of interest. Seems she also has talent moving on the dance floor & not just on a chess board.
