Here we go again. As we promised we will officially start our knockout bracket today with the first matchup where the top seeded Garry Kasparov takes on the lithuanian legend Vladas Mikénas. The players never played each other, but it would surely be an interesting battle beetween these two.

Today's match:

draw - Vote for Garry Kasparov

playhand - Vote for Vladas Mikénas

May the better player win! Voting begins!

But he did referee the Candidates game between Kasparov und Beliavsky. Couldn't resist adding a bit of history.
