♡ 11 ( +1 | -1 ) Chess on US TVStrange but true: game 6 of Kasparov-DJ will be broadcast nationally live on ESPN2 from 3:30-7:00 ET today (Feb 7).

♡ 15 ( +1 | -1 ) Thanks Keplerfor the heads up! Would have missed it otherwise. This doesn't happen very often, (especially on TV)so it will be interesting to watch.

♡ 27 ( +1 | -1 ) thanks kepler. I only wish i'd known about it earlier. i could have made an announcement at my chess club. on reason chess isn't noticed, because it gets ZERO publicity. Didn't Marx say TV was the opiate of the masses. Or was it rap music. Not sure. Hmmm.

♡ 15 ( +1 | -1 ) KeplerIs that 12:30 or 3:30 here in Portland? Is this a new change? I looked at the guide on my TV and it listed other shows as coming up on ESPN2. Are you sure about this?
kepler
♡ 19 ( +1 | -1 ) Could someone post the moves after 5. ESPN has not been doing a good job of reporting and the realtime sites are swamped. (Alternatively, if you have a site that does moves, hey...)
Somehow, my wishes are with Garry. Unusual, normally I'm not a kind of 'fan' besides the love I feel for the famous and best soccer team ever: 1.FC Köln.
Go Garry go.
kepler
♡ 9 ( +1 | -1 ) It helps that GK is a worthwhile guy to root for. It would be a little different if he were a pr1ck...

♡ 8 ( +1 | -1 ) gambitnut, where are you posting from? I'm out right on the Beaverton-Hillsboro line.
kepler
♡ 21 ( +1 | -1 ) Yes, I am now watching on www.x3dworld.com/Entertainment/chessMVM/DGT/Flash/broadcast.html although there is a lag.

♡ 28 ( +1 | -1 ) I'm in southeast PortlandIf you are looking for a place to play OTB chess, I often play on saturdays art the Greek Orthodox Church at 32nd and Glisan. The chess is in the back of the building from 11am to 6 pm.
By the way, I applied several days ago to be a Wild Attacker and haven't heard back yet, is there a waiting list?
kepler
♡ 9 ( +1 | -1 ) No, Anish is probably backlogged. I'll post to him.
Do you play over at the Portland Chess Club?
gambitnut
♡ 8 ( +1 | -1 ) NoI was a member and I've been over there a few times but the bathroom isn't wheelchair accessible.
gambitnut
♡ 19 ( +1 | -1 ) I'm really enjoying watching this on ESPN2!It's great to see chess on tv, ESPN even! Yasser Seriwan and Maurice Ashley are giving great analysis and even Jeremy Schaap seems to know something about chess!
kepler
♡ 20 ( +1 | -1 ) He knew e4 c5 was a Sicilian, anyway. ;-)
Schaap (like his dad) is a fellow Cornell alum, so it's good to see him doing this. Of course, I'd prefer it if the hockey game against Dartmouth were on ESPN2 afterwards! ;-)
kepler
♡ 5 ( +1 | -1 ) Woohoo! Garry goes for the throat!!!! Rxc3!
gambitnut
♡ 7 ( +1 | -1 ) It sure took him a long time!I wonder if he will tell us what he was thinking after the game.
gambitnut
♡ 16 ( +1 | -1 ) What??!!?He has way too much play to offer a draw. It sounds like it was the computer's team, not the computer who declined. They must think they can still win. I wonder why.
is an attack on the e pawn; in combination with Ba3 white is suddenly looking alive.
GK has 37 minutes for his next 13 moves.
gambitnut
♡ 11 ( +1 | -1 ) It's a draw!!What was wrong with Kasparov? Why did the computer's team offer a draw so fast after declining one?
kepler
♡ 11 ( +1 | -1 ) But now he needs no time, because they agree to a draw despite a very interesting position.
Wusses. :-(
calmrolfe
♡ 17 ( +1 | -1 ) What is he playing at ? !!Gary was holding all the shots....why offer a draw ? There was only ever going to be one winner from that position, the game was there for Black's taking.

♡ 17 ( +1 | -1 ) the draw is a disappointment…but to see chess live on television in the USA… well, I have agents out in the field right now checking to see if hell has indeed frozen over.
wait… a pig just flew by my window.
gambitnut
♡ 15 ( +1 | -1 ) honololouLet me know when your agents get back. That would explain it! I hope this trend continues even more in the future.

♡ 15 ( +1 | -1 ) I'm heading out now to the Greek Orthodox ChurchDon't worry, you don't have to be Greek or Orthodox to play there. You just have to love chess! I hope to see some Gameknot players there!

♡ 5 ( +1 | -1 ) In case anyone missed it the first time ...... the game is going to be reaired on ESPN2 on March 5th at 2:30 ET.
