- Chess king Gary Kasparov isn't taking his position for
- granted. Training for next month's world championship in New
- York City, he's rounded up some diverse sparring partners. Last
- week the likes of Kurt Vonnegut and George Plimpton obliged the
- champ, who played six boards simultaneously. Said Plimpton: "At
- one point he looked at my board for perhaps a minute, which I
- thought was a triumph." But Kasparov, 27, prevailed. "It could
- hardly be called playing," he said. "It was a show more than
- a game."
