The same day Ruud van Nistelrooij will play Loek van Wely for the Dutch championship.

I have been following the games at this WC, and it was an exciting tournament. I agree with Panda that Kasimdzhanov is certainly a deserved winner. He had a rather difficult draw too, facing the top 4 seeds along the way. In a number of games I thought he was a bit lucky though - his opponents in those games (Almasi, Grischuk, Topalov, Adams) all failed to exploit their clear or even winning advantage. Anyway, I don't know when the Kasparov-Kasimdzhanov match is coming. I don't think it's been scheduled yet, probably because the place, time and sponsors of the event all depend on who may play Kasparov.

And I found the official site of the Kramnik-Leko match:

To cap the remarkable achievement of England's soccer team in going out of four recent major soccer tournaments (1990 World Cup, Euro '96, 1998 World Cup and Euro 2004) on penalties, it seems that poor old Mickey Adams has joined the ranks of Englishmen who fluff their chance at glory.

Still, it wasn't a proper World Championship anyway, I suppose.  I can't see Kasimdzhanov faring too well against Kasparov, especially at classical time limits.

I guess attention now moves to the Kramnik-Leko match.  When is that, anyhow?
