TopTurniere Kramnik bekräftigt seinen Standpunkt Offener Brief von Manager Carsten Hensel
10.10.2006 - Kurz vor der heutigen elften Partie veröffentlichte Carsten Hensel im Namen von Vladimir Kramnik einen weiteren Offenen Brief an FIDE-Präsidenten Ilyumzhinov und den Vorsitzenden des Exekutivkomitees Bovaev, welcher erneuert, dass Kramnik seit der fünften Partie nur unter Protest spiele. Sollte das Ergebnis der fünften Partie entscheidenden Einfluss auf das Endergebnis haben, werde der Russe Topalov nicht als Weltmeister anerkennen und rechtliche Schritte gegen die FIDE einleiten. Als Zeichen guten Willens bietet Kramnik an, die fünfte Partie nach der zwölften Partie nachzuspielen.
Open letter by Vladimir Kramnik and his team, on their position
regarding the 5th game
CET,

Open Letter
To
FIDE President
H.E. Kirsan Illyumzhinov
To
Head of the 2006 Executive Committee
Mr. Valery Bovaev
Dear Mr President,
Gentlemen,
Having received
innumerable published and unpublished inquiries I would like to clarify,
in the name of Vladimir Kramnik and his team, our position in the
decision taken by FIDE regarding the fifth game of the current World
Championship match.
1. As you know Vladimir
Kramnik is playing the current match under protest. Nothing has changed
in our attitude, which is documented by Kramnik’s actions around the
fifth game and our statements, protests and letters:
2. Consistent with this standpoint Vladimir Kramnik will be playing this
match, including a possible tiebreak, up to the last move under protest.
3. Should the decision of FIDE regarding the fifth game have any
influence on the awarding of the World Championship title, with Mr
Topalov receiving the title after being granted a free point for the
unplayed game, Mr Kramnik declares unequivocally: “I will not recognize
Mr Topalov as World Champion under these conditions, and I will take
legal action against FIDE at the end of the World Championship.”
4. The damage done to Mr Kramnik in public opinion (e.g. the slander
campaign) after the illegal release of private video images by the then
FIDE Appeals Committee or the WCC 2006 Executive Committee to the
Topalov team, and the subsequent release of these video images and
private information of Mr Kramnik in his restroom to the mass media, as
well as the interruption of the match, which broke Mr Kramnik’s
concentration and playing rhythm, will all be part of the legal action
which will be initiated.
5. As a sign of good will Mr Kramnik once again requests FIDE to arrange
for game five to be played out on the board immediately after game 12.
This in our opinion is the only way to alleviate the personal, sporting,
judicial and ethical injuries that have been incurred by Mr Kramnik.
Elista, October 10,
2006
On behalf of Vladimir Kramnik
Yours sincerely
Carsten Hensel
(Manager to Vladimir Kramnik, Classical World Chess Champion)
