Garry
Kasparov’s visit in October 2003 was a fantastic success.
Hundreds of people of all ages
came to meet the greatest chess player of the modern era.
The London Chess Centre is delighted
to announce that Garry Kasparov will be back to visit us
on July 3rd 2004. This is not any ordinary
book signing though! Throughout the day you can play friendly
games (against each other),
buy copies of Kasparov's books My Great Predecessors 1 +
2 as well as the new DVD 'Game
Over: Kasparov and the Machine'. But thats not all ! After
the book signing you can listen to
Kasparov himself discussing one of the games from the MGP
series! You can attend the talk if you
have a Chess & Bridge till receipt dated 3rd July 2004.
Garry has also kindly agreed to a short Q+A
session but we will be selecting only the best questions
which must be submitted to us by email in
advance.
Kasparov
is due to arrive at 10.30am, but we recommend coming to
the London Chess Centre
for 10am to avoid a long wait in the queue. Book signings,
chess throughout the day, and the
discussion will take us to 2.30pm. Then we will be running
our inaugural Blitz Tournament at the
nearby Smuggler's Tavern (non-smoking venue) running from
3pm till 5pm, where there will be
some prizes to be won, and some refreshments available
at the bar.
