This is a single post from deeden.co.uk made during the period May 2002 to April 2009. During a previous grand redesign I decided to make a break with the past and consign the old entries to history. This entry is from October 2006 and lives here forevermore.

And then there was one...

Vladimir Kramnik has won the World Chess Championship and become the undisputed World Chess Champion. Finally we have a unified World Champion again, although it has taken long enough.

I wasn’t too bothered over who won the title until the bathroom controversy after the 4th game. From that point on I wanted Kramnik to win, due to the terrible way the affair was handled by FIDÉ and also because if Topolov won there would be dispute as to who was the real Champion, which is the last thing the chess world needs.
