I, for one, am terribly excited over the upcoming chess match in Kalmykia starting tomorrow. Finally, the chess world gets to reunite under one champion, and, not coincidentally, both competitors are very worthy of the title. It should be a match defining its generation. So I thought I would hail the coming of the new world with this humble knight, who will remind us of where the two competitors left off against each other.
