Title: World Chess Championship Condition: New Subtitle: Kramnik Vs Leko 2004 Author: Raymond Keene Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 1843821605 EAN: 9781843821601 ISBN: 9781843821601 Publisher: Hardinge Simpole Publishing Genre: Indoor Games & Puzzle Books Release Date: 30/10/2004 Description: With FIDE (the World Chess Federation) claiming that its Tournament in Libya - in fact, little more than a rapidplay open - was the world title clincher, this match for the Classical World Chess Championship would confirm one of the two mental matadors -Kramnik or Leko - as the legitimate heir of Steinitz, Alekhine, Fischer and Kasparov. Peter Leko, the Hungarian Grandmaster, qualified from the Dortmund Candidates' Tournament in 2002 to meet Vladimir Kramnik from Moscow, who had unseated Garry Kasparov in London 2000. Although both contenders were noted for their solidity, the clash turned out to be a sporting classic, as Kramnik poured every ounce of energy into the last games in an effort to rescue his title.
