Kasparov Finally Meets His Match

Kasparov Finally Meets His Match is today’s industry move, and it is one more reminder that the games business is growing up fast, whether it is ready or not.

Has Kasparov finally met his match? At a press conference in London’s Home House, world chess champion Garry Kasparov today admitted that the Kasparov vs. The World online chess match, hosted by the MSN network of Internet services, is more challenging than he expected and that he is thrilled and surprised by the World Team’s performance.

It is business news, sure, but these moves shape what games get made, what stores carry them, and who is still standing next year.
