    Why can we in chess not do something like with football. I mean say we start with the 16 strongest players on de elo rankinglist. The worldchampion will be between them for sure. And say we make 4 groups of 4 players.
    They play six games one with white en one with back against the three others.
    The same as with the champions leage the best two go throug the next round.
    Than you have 8 players left so a quarter final. Four small maths from let say 6 games.
    Afters this you have only left 4 players en you have the half final. Thus let say Carlsen Anand Kramnik en Topolov
    are still there. Then you have two matches from let say 12 games.
    The two winners play de final from lets say 24 games! A real serieus match.
    I think this have not to take very long. Not years and years.
    The best players will be on top for sure and it gives the same for all the players.
    What about something like this? Can it be so hard to think something out?
