The dramatic World Championship match in which Vladimir Kramnik surprisingly overthrew Garry Kasparov, the highest rated chess champion in the history of the game was, thanks to the internet, followed by more chess enthusiasts than any other chess championship match in chess history. For a month the eyes of the world were focused on the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith where the two grandmasters fought out their silent duel for two million dollars in prize money and the solid silver Howard Staunton trophy crafted by Asprey and Garrard, the Queen's jewelers.
Millions of viewers around the world followed the match live on the Brain Games website, www.braingames.net and this book distills the very best of the comments made by grandmasters on the spot and the players themselves. It also gives full details of how anyone can enter for the forthcoming Brain Games World Championship qualifier with the ultimate goal of competing face to face against the new world chess champion.
Raymond Keene is one of the worlds leading authorities on chess. An International Chess Grandmaster since 1976 and winner of 14 separate British championship titles, he is the author of over 50 books on chess. He is chess correspondent of the London Times and Sunday Times
