I want my title back - Topalov


The regulations of the World Chess Federation allows each world champion who has lost the title to extend an invitation for a new match. The sum of 1.5 million euro has to be provided as an award. We will find the money and will demand that the match take place in Sofia. We will even propose the date March 3 2007”, Danailov said.

Will Kramnik agree to a rematch so soon?

We’ve seen from history how world champions have denied or at least delayed the “vice-champion” a rematch and I personally feel Kramnik will not want to play Topalov so soon :)

Danailov suspects Kramnik will not accept the offer, which could force FIDE to strip him of the world’s only chess king title. Topalov and Kramnik inspired reminiscences of Kasparov and Karpov, who first started the schism in the chess world back in 1993, Danailov said.

Prove that you can outplay Judit and Mamedyarov first Topa.

Topalov lost to JPolgar a few days ago. As a WC that cannot be accepted even if JP is very strong. Perhaps it is his style of play. When Capablanca/Alekhine/Petrosian/Fischer/Karpov/Kasparov were WC, they rarely lost to their peers and Capablanca went for years without a loss.
