Fischer vs Karpov

If you haven't heard the latest news, check out:

There is currently a lot of talk about Fischer and Karpov playing Gothic Chess against each other. What is Gothic Chess? It's a 10x8 board with 2 additional pieces introduced. I believe they are called the Chancellor and the ArchBishop.

This sounds a little suspicious, but if it's true that the winner is being offered 10 million, and the loser 5 million, I suppose it could happen. Though I'd be much happier if it were "standard" chess, it would still be somewhat exciting to see these two face off.

Enjoy your Friday.
