While surfing around across the related websites, it's interesting what you can
read (and what you cannot read). For example, the match website "Brains in
Bahrain" still says, the match is "now due to take place in the first quarter of
2002" - no mentioning of October.

The latest news on the Braingames.net website are of September 2001, no
mentioning of Einstein PLC:

The Einstein.tv website doesn't yet have their own press release which TWIC has:

http://www.einstein.tv/uk/press/index.asp

Btw. among these press releases there's one of July 2001, mentioning a
cooperation with Ubi Soft (but this was about the game Myst III: Exile). I
searched that site for chess: "Unfortunately your search found no results..."

There is also an Einstein Group PLC website http://www.einstein-group.tv , which
seem to be more for investor's purposes.

I found my personal bottom line of all of that, in the recent press release:

"einstein.tv's corporate identity has won several design awards and the brand
was chosen to represent the best of British design and innovation at the Great
Expectations Exhibition in New York."
