  3     By the way, Kasparov is playing white and the opening was a Center
  3Counter.

Yes, and don't you think LETTERMAN's play has been brilliant so far? 
He has moved his queen at least three times in the first 5 moves, I
think... 

    Well, LETTERMAN's play was certainly...ahhh...ummm..."interesting"!

1.   DL: (after 1. e4) Oh, no!  I'm screwed!

3.   DL: Three moves, and I've already got him in check!

5.   GK: You move your queen too much... I know, it's your favorite
          piece.

6.   DL: I'm up two to one...
     GK: You'll pay a high price for your two pawns.

7.   GK: (after 7. Rg1) Get away with your queen from my camp!

8.   GK: I feel the smell of victory!
     DL: I have the same aroma here...

10.  DL: I was bored the second night.

12.  GK: I could take your rook, but I prefer your queen.
     DL: I'm gonna take one of your horses.  It's 3 to 2 now, isn't it?

14.  GK: A normal man would cry when he loses his queen.
     DL: There just isn't enough televised chess.

17.  GK: I think the next week of moves is the last one.
     DL: Ho, ho, ho!  We'll just see about that, won't we?

18.  GK: I am invading your camp now...
     DL: I think I've got one of your pawns in check.

23.  GK: You're in good company.  All of the grandmasters have been
          checkmated by me.
