A recent press release from the US Chess Federation states that
the FIDE (World Chess Fed.) congress in Graz, Austria
has modified the world championship rules.

The 3-way playoff, with its possibilities for collusion, has been abolished.

The top finishers in the Interzonals will play knockout matches to determine
one challenger.  This challenger then plays a match vs. the loser of
the current match.  (Actually, if Kasparov wins, against the loser of the
February re-match.)
