I do not consider winner if draws in the final of the chess world, there must be one winner even if a match of the final so I think Eros Riccio did not win tournaments on many occasions. If there are draws have to decide on thematic games or chess 960. It would be fair !!

I do not agree but anyway, anyone can think anything... The aim of this championship was first to offer something different from the ICCF & IECG championships, something that looked like more the old FIDE champs.

There were numerous discussions on this topic in the forum already.

In modern times there will be no winner if there is no gain. Formerly the champions would have to be defeated, the draw favored. In the present times it does not work like that anymore. There has to be a champion with victories.

Champions was legitimate until the fourth tournament, I see the hall of fame from 5 tournament no simple champions but draws no point who highlight, hurting the challenger who has not lost even 1

5 -11 tournament Final world championship there was not even a win ?? Absurd!! consider someone to be consecutive times champion .. I totally disagree. There was no merit.

The rules specify that (in other words) "all games draw means retaining title". You may consider it as a win... or not. But in all cases, Eros did what was necessary to take then retain the title according to the rules.

Btw, it happened in 1987 with Kasparov vs. Karpov.

"In modern times there will be no winner if there is no gain": That's a choice... but many people were deceived to see blitz games or so to decide championships initially played at classical time controls. As for me, I would feel the same if a correspondence chess champ was decided by a few advanced chess games.

Finally, I completely understand your point of view, but is this an absolute truth?

if there is at least one loss and one win and 6-6, the challenger should be the winner, because all stages before have the simular rule

In WCH Quarter Final 000016 there will be more wins because this time we play more closed openings. It´s the best chance in advanced chess to win I think.
I will never forget last game Kasparov - Karpov 1987...

so far you are the only one with wins in this Quarter Final ;)
but if opps are strong there will be no win anymore i guess, only mouse errors :)

So far, yes! ;-) I look at all games and also follow Anderson - Strömberg, a match very interesting from an advanced chess view. The strongest computer win against best player, when will that scenario begin to happen...?
