SAINT LOUIS (April 7, 2015) – World chess legends Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short will meet later this month for the first Battle of the Legends exhibition match, to be held in Saint Louis, the Chess Capital of the United States.
On April 25-26, former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov and famed English Grandmaster Nigel Short will play a series of blitz and rapid games at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis (CCSCSL), rekindling the duo’s match at the 1993 World Chess Championship.
Kasparov is widely considered one of the greatest chess players of all-time, one of the youngest World Champions in history who held the world’s No. 1 spot from 1985 until his retirement in 2005.[...]

저 위에 분은 몇년전에 한국에도 한 번 오셨었어요
사실 왜 왔는지는 모르겠지만;;;; 아마 여행차 들렸다가 잠깐 체스클럽에도 들리신 모양입니다
아시겠지만 서울에 체스클럽 딱 하나에요 거기다 지금은 내부공사중....
지금은 둘 다 나이가 많고 체스를 주업으로 삼지도 않는 듯 보이지만 여러가지 의미에서 재미있는 시합이 될 듯 합니다
