Any chess fans?
This gets underway today in Elista, Kalmykia, between the Kasparov-toppling Vladimir Kramnik of Russia and the Bulgarian eccentric Veselin Topalov.
This match is all the more fascinating, since it is the reunification match that finally brings together the chess world's two factions. Garry Kasparov left the governing chess body FIDE in 1993, taking the World Champion title with him. Vladimir Kramnik famously beat Kasparov in 2000, becoming the 14th Classical World Chess Champion. FIDE of course established a rival title after Kasparov left (the FIDE World Championship), which is currently held by Veselin Topalov.
