Kramnik defended his title 7-7 by winning the last game against Leko. December 4,2004, at ChessBase English site Kasparov discusses Fischer Random Chess: Because of 'volume of opening theory', 'several million games', Kasparov cites the 'possibility of playing not all 960 position but to downsize them in number to 20-30 positions. Simply pick a position and play it for a year. Next year a different position. In actual fact from the 960 positions 95% of them, frankly speaking, are poison to your eyes.' Pritchard's 1994 Encyclopedia of CVs, page 10: 'John Warbis, chess editor of 'The Statesman' proposed that a governing body should announce a new array on the first day of each year which would operate for the next twelve months(Chess Amateur 1928).' That suggestion was made 75 years ago.
