Meet Karpov, Kasparov and Carlsen

How would you like the chance to meet Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov and Magnus Carlsen?

If you can be in New York on 17 May and have a few hundred dollars to spare then you could attend the Karpov 2010 Election fundraiser in the TrumpSoho in downtown Manhattan.

VIP tickets will get you a signed photo of you with the champions, a chessboard signed by the two K's, and as much champagne as you can drink!

This article in the New York Times suggests that Will Smith and Robin Williams might also turn up, but meeting the grandmasters would be far more exciting, right?
