Chess legend Kasparov to play in new Online Nations Cup

NEW DELHI: Chess legends including Russia’s Garry Kasparov and Vladimir Kramnik will next month take part in a new online world team tournament as the game makes moves to carry on despite the global coronavirus shutdown. Six teams will compete in the Online Nations Cup from May 5-10 with former world champion Viswanathan Anand featuring for India. “This epoch-making battle draws some similarities with golf’s Ryder Cup, or with the 1970 ‘USSR vs Rest of the World’ chess matchup that made headlines in Bobby Fischer’s heyday,” the game’s world governing body FIDE said, announcing the event.
