Comments on match: Kirsan Ilumzhinov: "This match is an excellent method of the popularization of chess! Now it is possible to arrange the matches between continents, countries and cities without expenses for planes and hotels. I do not exclude that this invention can be used in the qualification competitions of the FIDE World Championships." Aleksander Zhukov: "Surely, we will arrange such events in the future, as the teams of any level even of the highest one can take part in them. The Match was very spectacular. Especially I liked the annotations of Spassky and Karpov." More comments: Geurt Gijssen Phil Innes |

Comments on match: Vladimir Kramnik: "A lot of people play in internet. I play there rather rarely because I do not wield the PC mouse so good. But it was rather pleasured to play over the "live" chess board and I had a full feeling that I played a normal tournament game. I think Distance chess has a good future." Geurt Gijssen: "The match is an exceptionally important event! Nowadays, when the organizers have the serious troubles with the getting of money for the expenses connected with the arrangement of chess tournaments Distance chess opens the excellent perspectives."

Equipment for the Distance Chess allows you
to play via internet with a remote player
any place of the world he is this time.
The light play between amateurs and even GMs are playing on the special
sites (ICC). The players are seating at the computers using mouses.
These games usually are blitz ones mainly for the reason to avoid computer's help.
As once noticed Garry Kasparov such games turn into the competition who better wields a
mouse. |
