Chess
All four games in this 25-minute a side plus ten second increment match was more exciting than many of the boring long matches they had played previously. Kasparov won the first game with the black pieces after Karpov blundered a knight. In game two, Kasparov, who dominated with white pieces against a Petroff's Defence, saw Karpov pull off a spectacular bishop skewer to net the white queen and draw level. In the third game, Karpov reached a quiet rook and knight ending and stamped his class by demonstrating how an active rook will win with exemplary technique. Kasparov was only able to draw the fourth game facing another Petroff's Defence. In a press release from New York, Owen Williams, manager of Garry Kasparov has said, the Kasparov-Deep Junior match will take place in New York from January 22 to February 2, 2003. With a prize fund of $1 million, Kasparov is assured of $500,000 and the rest of the money would be divided with the winner taking $300,000. In case of a 3-3 draw, the prize money will be split as $250,000 each. — Our Chess Correspondent.
