Kasparov was >in the CNNfn offices in New York, Becker in a CNN TV studio in Munich. I would like to believe that I would have played a better game or lasted longer than Becker given the opportunity. But I must say that I find the ridicule aimed at Becker unwarranted and slightly pathetic. Being a fan of chess doesn't mean keeping up with the newest opening theory. It could be beating your neighbour every friday after work. I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the comments reflect envy.
