Chess legend Garry Kasparov finally landed in the city and like his moves, was quick to clarify the nature of his visit. “I am here as a chess tourist.” No frills. And in his inimitable way said he was amazed at the publicity the match has been able to generate and hoped Viswanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen will spark a revival.
Kasparov dismissed rumours that he was here to campaign for the post of FIDE president in 2014. “I am a just chess tourist here,” he said on his arrival at the World Chess Championship venue. “The publicity the match has generated is amazing and it reminds me of my match with Karpov and the Spassky-Fischer game. It can be termed as a clash of two generations.”
Kasparov also denied that he was here to help Carlsen. A staunch supporter of the Norwegian, the legend said he would not pass on inputs to the young champion. However, he did not shy away from naming his favourite. He said he would put his money on the Norwegian for his talent and believed that the world needed a new champion.
