Chess news: Barden on chess -- Vlad Kramnik's late rally in Bonn took some of the gloss off Vishy Anand's 6.5-4.5 world chess championship victory. The Indian dominated the first half of the series but missed the chance to join the select few who have won the chess title without losing a game. He seemed to tire after game six, reviving the question raised by his recent Bilbao failure whether his chess career has peaked at age 38. History may judge Kramnik as one of the weaker chess champions. His claim to a more positive verdict rests largely on his London 2000 triumph over the all-time No1 Garry Kasparov.

So, which rivalry had the biggest influence on the world? The impact of the most high-profile and enduring sporting rivalries is always loud, but usually localised. And, almost universally, they lack non-sporting significance. Certainly few have been used as an alternative battleground for two nations at war. First, there was chess. Then, there were four million competitive chess players in communist USSR. And, in the middle of the Cold War, came a challenger to ... | |
