I mentioned a while back about the upcoming event with Kasparov, Karpov, Korchnoi and my sister Judit. It was originally supposed to be Fischer Random. However, there were a whole bunch of misunderstanding. So it was changed to rapid. Well, someone did not seem to like this idea so now it is changed to 5′ + 2″ increment double RR blitz.
Will this be the final format? I think so but then again, it will only be certain once the players start. No matter what format it will be, it sure will be exciting. Someone can actually go 6-0 and someone can actually go 0-6. You never know with blitz.

for their tactical sharpness i fancy the chances of Judit and Kasparov. for me this event is perfect timing as my 12 month stay in Zurich ends just after this event. I will be there to see it. May the best (wo)man win!
Go Korchnoi. He has the experience
be interesting to see how susan would do in this …..id go for her
So Susan, if you were there, who would win the blitz-battle of the sisters? 😉
In 1992, all 3 of us competed in the Women’s World Blitz and Rapid Championship. Judit was rated #1, I was #2.
I finished 1st in both. Judit was 2nd in blitz and Sofia was 2nd in rapid.
I do not have an answer for it. But if an organizer wants to organize this match, we will find out 🙂
Best wishes,

I really think Judit has the chances to take all the marbles here. But it will be interesting to see how sharp Kasparov is. Dont forget…Karpov beat him a while back in a mini rapid match so anything can happen.. Imagine Korchnoi winning…what a glorius end to his carreet…that would be so sweet to. Sounds like an interesting event….But I predict..
Judit Kasparov Karpov Korchnoi….in that order…but hey its blitz…you never know.
