Kasparov - Karpov match in Paris is cancelled
Official communication from the organizers of the 2 K’s jubilee. Posted on Europe-Echecs, translated by Jean-Michel Blatrier.
“Having the two greatest world chess champions coming to the Louvre in Paris on 11-13th December was simply a brilliant idea. The CCAS immediately accepted and looked for partners.
One of our interested sponsors wanted to couple this event with the “Year of Russia” in France, starting in March 2010. December 11th is really too soon, and the time was too short for setting up a good organization and communication. It makes our hearts cry to be forced to stop that project.
But we didn’t say our last word, and we’ll give it another try in 2010. Thanks to Anatoly Karpov and to Garry Kasparov for trusting in the project.”
For the Organization committee,
Christophe Gaston and Pascal Lazarre
The first Kasparov - Karpov jubilee match took place in Valencia
