In Valencia one of the greatest rivalries in Chess has been resumed when Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov sat down to play a twelve game match under strict time limits. The first time they met in 1984 Karpov was 5 - 3 ahead after an epic 43 games and the match was stopped for the health of both players. The match can be followed live on the Valencia Regional Government website. Kasparov won the first game; game 2 is underway as I write this.
Your Wednesday questions are: -
- Who won his fifth Olympic Gold medal today in 2000 in Sydney?
- In which country was reigning US Open Tennis champion Juan Martín del Potro (right) born today in 1988?
- Which Japanese corporation, best known today for video games, was founded today in 1889?
