It serves no purpose at all. Instead FIDE should just adopt a system like in badminton or tennis with ranking points to determine who the world no.1 should be.

They dont make the rules and only bitter old men will actually deny them their accomplishments. I have the feeling that Dilwen never thought he could achieve this much.
