Anybody heard of a new channel called Edge? It focusses on games, including CHESS. Wouldn't it be great if they could get it on satellite or cable so you could watch televised and commented tournament/match games? Edge will do mostly games, like poker, etc., but chess is definitely a possibility according to a spokesman. Now if we could get a dramatic match like Kasparov against somebody (anybody! C'mon FIDE, do SOMETHING!) I remember as a kid watching Spassky-Fischer on a blurry, rolling television with Shelby Lyman blabbing away with equally incoherent guest-speakers and it spawned a generation of chess players. Chess needs exposure and drama for the kids, otherwise they will take up Parchisi and buying hip hop cd's. Have I griped enough??
