“Today begins the three thousandth seven hundred and twentieth match in the struggle for the World Chess Federation crown between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov. The Grunfeld Defense was used to win the match. Up to the 40th move the match was a replay of the positions encountered in the preceding fourteen matches. On the 41st move the match set aside. We are using the incident to familiarize veterans of Chess with the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of this epic struggle.”
“And who are you rooting for?" The house robot asked.
“For Kasparov, the same as my grandfather did.”
