Also, FIDE President Kirsan Illumzhinov has given an in-principle nod to his deputy in the FIDE and All India Chess Federation Secretary P T Ummer Koya about Anands inclusion after a long discussion on the issue. We will put the matter in the FIDE Presidential Board meeting in Doha early next month about Anands inclusion in the World Championship and the Board will have the final say in the matter, Koya, said after the meeting with Illumzhinov.
The move to include Anand comes nearly a week after FIDE came out with a new proposal after the Unification Treaty was rejected by top Grandamasters of the world, including Anand. They wrote an open letter to FIDE expressing their disappointment over the proposed cycle.The letter, signed by more than 20 top GMs, expressed concern over the reunification treaty that did not allow them to compete in World Championship till 2005.
