Today is a rest day in the World Championship match in Moscow, so I am going to the Kent County Chess Association Finals Day, this afternoon. I live in hope of seeing some games of chess lasting beyond move 25, containing at least 50% moves not previously played before, and perhaps, if I am
really, really lucky, some games that end in something other than a boring, fightless draw.
For those of you not living within easy commuting distance of the KCCA Finals Day, I leave you with a reminder of the days when World Championship matches involved playing real chess. Notes are from
Megabase 2012.
