Was the last game at Linares symbolic? No doubt it looks like the old warrior Kasparov has passed the torch to the younger Topalov. Anand played in the recent years great and has talked recently big, but he gets small when Kasparov is around. Will he be more confident and decisive now?

Google is not showing new articles. I can see them in: http://news-reader.org/rec.games.chess.misc/ but only a 10 at the time (10 per window display) or using its search engine (two options only: subject or author), which is not a satisfactory situation.

The point that 'Fischer's incarceration weakens Japan's case for permanent membership of the UN Security Council' is not as silly as some people might think. Basically the point is: 'why should the Japanese government get a permanent seat - and veto - if it can't stand its ground on the "human rights issue" of the US government's persecution of a single individual?' Note the important point that...

Far amazing for me were, however, the following words pronounced by the 13th World Champion: "Today it is obvious that there will be never any unified World Championship.

Mizuho Fukushima, head of Japan's Social Democratic Party, has said that immigration officials told her that if Fischer becomes an Icelandic citizen, Japanese authorities will allow him to leave for Iceland. She is to meet the Icelandic ambassador tomorrow. I bet the US goons in Reykjavik (or Keflavik) are annoyed at this. Fischer is being held illegally of course, but let us hope he...
