A quite remarkable event with Kasparov playing blitz with 3 top 10 players including the current world numbers 2 & 3. This was not demonstation chess, it is Kasporov of old fighting to win against today's top players - something I thought we would never see. Brilliant.

If you haven't seen it, scroll to the bottom of article at link above, click watch again, maximise the window, shut the door, don't answer the phone and enjoy half a day of the best chess entertainment you are ever likely to see.

I watched both days of this event and it was fantastic! To see Kasparov competing with these guys was just amazing. Wonder if he'll make a comeback in classical chess

The St Louis lot present chess online very well. This was great to watch as was the US~Championship which preceded it; check out those videos on You Tube - good entertainment and with a high proportion of exciting games if not always the highest quality.
