] CHESS: PARTY THROUGH EVERY GAME ONLINE AT OUR SITE
Years in the making and catching everyone's attention, chess fans
around the world are taking the possibility of a new chess champion
seriously; after 11 games, Kramnik leads Kasparov by 6.5-4.5. We
celebrate every game with an online party - lively Grandmaster

] FREE THE HENDERSON ONE - SPECIAL INTERVIEW AND CHAT APPEARANCE
Chess Journalist John Henderson unexpectedly found himself centre-
stage at the Kasparov-Kramnik match when he was ejected and banned
from the premises by the BrainGames Network, the organizers of the
contest. Henderson has received widespread international support
after the incident from outraged colleagues and readers. He gave an
exclusive interview to Mind Sports Zine editor Jonathan Tisdall and
he'll be at our match coverage on Saturday 28th October to tell more!
