World Championship Match GM V. Anand – GM V. Topalov
When the deadline expired for bids for the World Championship Match between
GM V. Anand (current World Champion) and GM V. Topalov, three bids had been received
at the FIDE Secretariat in Athens, Greece, from Bulgaria, Singapore and Turkey.
These bids were opened in the presence of the FIDE Deputy President, Georgios
Makropoulos and the FIDE Executive Director, David Jarrett.
Under the terms of the bidding procedure, the bids should have been accompanied
by financial guarantees. As none of the bids provided such a guarantee, it has
been decided that the bidders have until October 15th, the day before the opening
of the FIDE Executive Board at Halkidiki, Greece, to meet this condition.
