- <p> My name as a chess champion belongs to the whole world, not
- just one country," says world champion Gary Kasparov. Ask him
- where he lives, and he'll tell you, "In the sky." That is, in
- a plane. This year he will jet to the U.S. and Europe to set up
- chess programs for urban youth. Ever ready to show off his
- skills, Kasparov, 25, is one of the first Soviets to venture
- into reklama, the Russian word for advertising. He has been paid
- to appear in commercials for Atari computers and Schweppes tonic
- water, his favorite drink. "It's work," he says, "but it gives
- people a new view about chess." It certainly reminds Kasparov
- that there is a more lucrative meaning to the word check.
