	FIDE World Chess Championship 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kasimdzhanov did not press for a win despite having the advantage of the white pieces; he followed a similar strategy in his match against Ivanchuk, possibly in the belief that if he could draw the standard time control games he would have better chances in rapid and blitz.
		Kasimdzhanov on the other hand was not expected to get this far (Sonas giving him just a 150 to 1 chance of winning) and although he had achieved some good results in the past, he remained a largely unknown player.
		Kasimdzhanov's victory meant he qualified for a match against world number one Garry Kasparov, the winner of which will play a match against Vladimir Kramnik or Péter Lékó in a match reunifying the World Championship.

		The sixth game between Kasimdzhanov and Adams, the last one with a regular time limit, was a seesaw fight in which both players missed wins and the world title that would go with it.

		England's Michael Adams and the 24-year-old Uzbek grandmaster Rustam Kasimdzhanov are locked in a gigantic struggle at the FIDE world championship in Tripoli, Libya.
		Kasimdzhanov, who was shockingly and mercilessly knocking out some of the world's best players from the event, twice saw his lead against Adams disappear.
		Kasimdzhanov was often considered a dark horse who could not quite make it to the top.

		Kasimdzhanov defeated Topalov in the semifinals of last year's world championship and for some time lingering scars of that event appeared to hover over the Bulgarian.
		It is doubtful Rustam Kasimdzhanov, who has in effect yielded his FIDE world title to Veselin Topalov, will have enough weapons to trouble the Bulgarian in the 12th and penultimate round of the world championship in Buenos Aires.
		Kasimdzhanov, number 35th in the FIDE Elo rating, is saved for last, but it’s not because of his lowly ranking, but because one does not know what to expect out of the young Uzbek.

		Kasimdzhanov was quick to punish the fl and got very near to a victory, but the Indian master brilliantly defended his mistakes and averted a possible defeat with a draw result in the end part of the game.
		Anand did not allow Kasimdzhanov to play the Marshall Gambit which he played against Carlsen yesterday and his planning worked when Kasindzhanov allowed his Nxc4 sacrifice for three pawns and after a few more moves thereafter seeing no way out of his difficult situation the Uzbekistan player resigned giving the title to Anand.

		Kasimdzhanov got a comfortable position with his knight holding sway in the centre and after routine manoeuvring the peace treaty was signed in just 18 moves.

		The victory in the fourth game for the Indian ace was a treasured one as he accomplished a fine task in the final game with a piece sacrifice that resulted in a winning endgame almost instantly.
		However Kasimdzhanov had made his presence felt in the first game itself that was a sharp Sicilian defence giving the Uzbek an unexpected victory.
		Playing white, Kasimdzhanov went for Anand's king in all possible ways and even though it was an extremely complicated game, the Uzbek did not falter in capitalising on his advantage when he finally got it.

		Furthermore, the space that a human opponent would occupy not only differs physically, in the contours that completely distinguish it from the space occupied by a computer opponent, but also extends itself to relations to other human spaces.

		The Semi Slav has only recently found its way in to the repertoire of Kasparov and Kasimdzhanov simply could not withstand the onslaught that began with an exchange sacrifice in the middle game.
		Kasparov's coordination of pieces was so good that only in a few moves all his pieces were directed towards an attack on the king side and soon Kasimdzhanov's position collapsed.

		Garry Kasparov, who for a long time has sincerely co-operated towards the realization of the Prague Agreement, should have at least shown his respect to his opponent Rustam Kasimdzhanov and his appreciation for the efforts of the Turkish Chess Federation and the Turkish Government before announcing his unilateral decision to withdraw from this match.
		It has to be clear to everyone that it is impossible to secure such high prize funds from legitimate sponsors, acceptable to FIDE and the IOC, without providing the candidate organizers with the necessary time to complete their efforts, especially when the government of a country is the guarantor for the organization of the match.
