Kasparov chess are interesting
Wolff sent me a note a couple of days after the show was released: “I recognize the game.” It was quite an obscure game.
I found a few games and picked up one: Patrick Wolff against Vassily Ivanchuk, Biel Interzonal, 1993. It means the position had to be complicated. How did I find a good game that will be played for 40 or so moves adjourned in a complicated situation? And then you have this very important element of Benny and his team calling from New York.
