If chess can become organized again, I think it will/can generate sponsors on all levels of the game.
It was good to see sponsors step in and assist the World Championship with Anand and Topalov. Remember the match that was suppose to take place with Kasparov and Shirov that fell apart due to no sponsorship ?
Anyhow, it has been growing in my town and tournaments are starting to pop up again. Maybe chess is in for very positive growth phase again ? Let's hope so. And hopefully all the infighting with FIDE and other high level players will soon be over......
Election time, kids!!

IMHO, Karpov should run FIDE or any chess body. How could he not drastically improve the chess scene?
Linux, I hear ya, brother! I think we are all ready for some change with the leadership of FIDE.
Thanks for commenting!
