[net.chess] Candidate Matches

gam@astrovax.UUCP (10/27/83)

Questions from a frustrated chess fan:

Does anybody know what is the latest on the Candidate Matches?

Did Kasparov settle to play Korchnoi elsewhere then in LA
(after all would Bobby Fisher have ever agreed to play in Moscow?)?

What about the other semi-final between Ribli and Portisch?

Correct me if I got any of the players wrong.

Speaking of Bobby Fischer, someone just asked me an interesting question to
which I don't have an answer. What happened to him? What does he do now? Does
he still play chess? Does he still play in tournaments? Does he belong to a
club? Is he planning to write any (more) books? Does he have a JOB somewhere?
Where? That is: where does he live and/or work now? Do you realize that he is
somewhere around 39 or 40 years old? Heck, he's ready for a comeback!!
