] ITALIAN OPEN GO CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL: WEBCAM AND CHAT

We are pleased and proud to feature games from the Italian Open Go
Championship final, in co-operation with FIGG (the Italian Federation
of the Game of Go). The championship is a best of five match between
Enzo Burlini and Paolo Montrasio; Burlini currently leads 2-1. Our
coverage of the fourth game starts at 9am GMT (10am CET) on Saturday
27th January; if Montrasio can pull back to draw level 2-2, the
decider will start at 2pm GMT that day. We will have live webcam and
chat coverage for both the games.

] GM CHAT FOR ROUND 12 OF THE CORUS CHAMPIONSHIP AT WIJK AAN ZEE

Some people are calling the Corus championship the strongest chess
championship of all time; certainly any tournament featuring the
nine highest-rated players in the world has to be taken seriously.
Our coverage of the chess world championship matches last year was
so popular that we're doing it all again! The highlight of the round
is the game between current co-leader Alexei Shirov and Vladimir
Kramnik; the other co-leader, Garry Kasparov, takes on Loek Van Wely.

] DAILY SCRABBLE REPORTS FROM SYDNEY INTERNATIONAL MASTERS

An elite field of fifty compete in this eighteen-round contest
starting on Saturday 27th January, featuring seven national
champions. Favourites include the current national champions of
Australia and Japan, Paul Cleary and Keiichiro Hirai respectively. We
feature daily coverage from John Holgate, a local library manager
with one of the best career records in Australasian Scrabble.

] NEW SECTION ALL ABOUT QUIZ LEAGUES

Quizzes are popular worldwide. In the UK, most competitions take place
between teams representing nearby pubs. The most famous contests in
the USA are between colleges on the Quiz Bowl circuit. Many major
cities in India have their own quizzes as well. We look forward to
reporting upon as many of them as we can get information about; if
you play in one yourself, why not bring your own competition fame and
fortune at the MSO Worldwide site?

Our new section starts at: http://www.msoworld.com/quiz/index.html


] NEW COVERAGE OF FINANCIAL CONTESTS

We're interested in all mind sport competitions here at MSO Worldwide
so are particularly happy to report upon financial competitions - a
genre we have not previously touched. We start by highlighting the new
weekly event at the InvestAvenue site: the answers to three numerical
questions, which might involve successful predictions, can win you a
great prize every week. Why not take a look?
