Kasimdzhanov-Kasparov match is a go?

According to an interview with FIDE president Kirsan Ilyumzhinov in the Russian paper Sport Express, the sponsorship of the K-K unification match in Dubai has been confirmed. The bank guarantees are allegedly in place and the match is scheduled for Jan. 14-Feb. 1.

When ChessBase spoke to Kasparov about these statements, he expressed concern that everything was still coming from Ilyumzhinov and not the Dubai organizers themselves.
