As a patzer player of this game, I can only gasp at the astonishing depth and intrigue contained in the games of the 2008 World Championship. I thank crikey.com for bringing GM Rogers comments to us, not only is he Australian, he would be one of the best analytical minds of the game of chess.

Why would anyone want to know chess moves from the Grandmaster , if Vladimir Kramnik has come from behind twice, thats his business but hey, give us neanderthals a chance and tell us something we can be interested in. I'd rather sit in a corner and eat a bowl of hair.....:))) OK.You win, its not a slow news week eg: the economy is a glittering stone and George W doesnt know what the G 20 is.

After all, how does chess rate more coloumn space than the demise of the Austalian National Academy of Music or failings of the NT Intervention? Not to mention having almost equal weight to the US Presidential race?<br /><br />I wonder what proportion of the population gets hot and sweaty over competitive chess? Why isn't there more of it on commercial TV?<br /><br />Is there a closet-grand master within the Crikey ranks?<br /><br />;)<br /><br /> I’m obviously a luddite, but I’ll admit that I first assumed that this series of articles was a prank.

Is there a closet-grand master within the Crikey ranks?
