Kasparov in form
NZPA-AP New York The world chess champion, Gary Kasparov, of the Soviet Union, yesterday charmed a gymnasium full of schoolchildren in New York and then promptly beat more than 50 of them at once. “It’s like playing pro basketball superstars Larry Bird or Michael Jordan one-on-one,” explained 14-year-old K.K. Karanja, who along with one other youth played the champion to a draw. The remaining 57 lost. “It’s a great day for chess,” said 24-year-old Kasparov. “This is the beginning of the promotion of chess in the United States.”
