No...probably not. But it is amazing he was the Chess Grandmaster when I was a kid and he still is!

is the event later at Conrad (where Kasparov is) free to public? Or is it a private function?

Just called up Serangoon Gardens Country Club. The 30 board simul chess is open to public viewing! I should be going. Anyone else going? :)

was at conrad earlier...got his book and his autograph.

He played blitz chess with our Singapore International Master and Fide Master. Both rated around 2300 and 2400++. He won both in less than 10 minutes.

For the one in serangoon gardens, heard need to pay entrance fee/dinner fee. So decided not to go.
