Knights vs. Inventors

Last week, the New York Knights qualified for the playoffs in the U.S. Chess League by eliminating the New Jersey Knockouts.

Tonight, at the Marshall Chess Club, the Knights will play via Internet against the Philadelphia Inventors who have draw odds in this postseason match. You can follow the action, beginning at 7 o'clock, on the Internet Chess Club website.

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
