Good points. If Mats can accept expansion of the topic, I had word ''psychology'' in mind when this happened, not yet linked: Http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7764. What psychological off-putting stopped the Kasparov-Nakamura training after only couple of months? Maybe Nakamura did not do the right obeisance to all-time-best Kasparov. Then there is here the Kasparov attempt at Shogi, http://www.chessvariants.org/shogi.dir/kasparov/kasparovshogi.html, the last comment recently said was mediocre play by Kasparov. Why is Fischer Random Chess now the only acceptable variant to official western Grandmasters? That was not always the case, just think of Reshevsky sponsoring Zonal, and Lasker and Capablanca at 8x10 Carrera Chess. I think if CVPage or other entity declared a tournament of several CVs as having winner ''the World Champion'' say year 2013, the winning player of the same yearly tournament later could become considered the actual world champion, to eventual secondary status by the 2020s of any Xiangqi or Shogi or F.i.d.e. champion. Applied psychology, in that CVers wil have thought things through with imagination more than any OrthoReligonists east or west.
