Which Takes Priority, Rumors or Reality?

It's been a busy week for World Chess Championship events. I could have written about the rescheduled Topalov - Kamsky match, about the last-minute transfer of the Doha Grand Prix to Elista, or about the (rumored) addition of a candidate tournament to the 2008-10 Championship cycle. Instead of these stories, which will certainly have evolved by next week, I caught up on various changes. First I added the

• 17th ICCF Correspondence Finals (played 2002 - 2007),
  
• 18th ICCF Correspondence Finals (2003 - 2005), and
  
• 19th ICCF Correspondence Finals (2004 - 2007)

to my page on Correspondence Chess Champions. Then I added

• Chessgames.com's History of the World Chess Championship and
• World Championships (w/ game viewers)

to 'Other WCC Sites' on this blog's sidebar. Reality took priority over rumors past and present.
