World Chess Champion

3/8/2010

0 Comments

 
The world chess Championship lost much of its luster during the 1990's because of a dispute with governing bodies.  As in many sports when competing organizations try to gain control of a sport, chaos for the fan usually ensues.  And for those who do not follow a particular sport the stars of that sport fade from the public eye.  When Robert J. Fischer put chess in the spotlight for many in the United States, everyone, even those who did not play chess knew who he was or at least knew his name and still do mainly for his chess and hopefully, not for his political views. But now, how many people in the United States know or have even heard of Viswanathan Anand?  But, then, again, who knows who Vitali Klitschko is or what is his sport?  Or who is Cadel Evans and what is his sport?
