Kasparov: no laughing matter!

8/28/2003 – On Tuesday we reported that FIDE had given its world champions Ponomariov 48 hours to sign and fax an agreement for his title match against Garry Kasparov. Yesterday we heard that Ponomariov had agreed to sign the document. Today we learn that FIDE has not received anything. Apparently the young Ukrainan has allowed the deadline to pass.
