Reports their point of view. and http://www.karpov2010.org/2010/09/court-case-to-force-fair-play-fails/ is the Karpov reaction. The full judgement in PDF

Analysis of the ruling by Peter Doggers on ChessVibes.

Now we'll see whether FIDE's claims of support are true, the Karpov team believe it will be very close. One would hope not as any look at Ilyumzhinov's record in FIDE and especially in Kalmykia can only lead to one conclusion, completely unfit for any post.
