Live chess on the web just might be more exciting than England's match against Finland. But agree that it is more exciting that the football game last night. The English have absolutely no spirit or guts. They flat out stink. Valid point - but then you only have to look back at the Olympic games to start a big debate on what can truly be categorised as sport.
Chess is by virtue of it's origins one of the oldest sports in the world.
Although it doesn't compare favourably with sport as we know it today. I hope you succeed in translating this text. After all that, I sat down with great excitement for Sunday's game, and it was rather an anti-climax.
