My Kasparov Number is 3 via fpawn and Yermolinsky. What's yours? http://ibeatgarry.com/ (slow games only). Update: another 3 scored via Simon Williams and Korchnoi
Name the ICC commentators: "My feeling is white is just very very ok"; "With a 50% score he would be probably be about half-way in the table"; "and then the horsey can jump around here"
I played a fischer random game the other day, just by chance we got the normal starting position
