A good world championship process is like a fine
wine. You need to age it.
When you pop the cork, you smell it. When you take a sip, you swirl it
around in your mouth. You don’t chug it, you savor it. Allow your
Champion to be your ambassador.
Allow the champion the time to promote the game.
Give the media
time to focus on the challengers, so the fans get to know them. The
candidate process is a character building process. As a challenger, if you
beat the champion you can feel proud knowing you deserve to be placed
in the company of the great champions of the past. During these matches,
especially the world championship, newspapers report on the games.
The FIDE
knock out process is a beer chuging contest.
When it’s over you vaguely remember what happened.
If you are going to spend a lot of money, you should get the media
spot light and focus for your players. You should also get a worthy
Champion, who feels proud of the process he went through.
A World Champion who knows he is the best of his kind. A World Champion
that the fans and chess professionals can be proud of.
