"Well said, Garry. In case you are just tuning in, I'm Jim Nantz live at the World Chess Championship match between Magnus 'The Norwegian Nightmare' Carlsen and 'The St Louis Psycho' Hikaru Nakamura. In just a minute, we'll bring you the sudden death showdown between these 2 titans of the chess world. But first, let me introduce my color man, Garry 'The Killer' Kasparov."

"Thanks Jim, been a while since someone called me Killer."

"Well, Garry, you were one of the fiercest sudden death warriors the chess world has ever known. How do you feel about Nakamura's last sudden death match with Alexei Shirov?"

"Well, Jim, it was difficult to watch, that's for sure. It's hard to say how it will effect sudden death rules going forward. Conventionally, these matches have been conducted with knives, but Nakamura recognized that Shirov was the preeminent knife fighter of the chess world. 32-0 In sudden death matches over his career. So he brought a length of 3/4 cold rolled steel to use in the event of a sudden death. That's legal, but generally frowned upon. He then proceeded to beat Shirov to death with a savagery that still haunts me."

"Wow, a hardened veteran, shaken up by Nakamura's brutality. What do you think of The Psycho's claim that he was trying to expose chess as the blood sport it is and maybe encourage a rule change?"

"I don't buy it for a second, Jim. When you watch the tape, it's clear that he was just consumed by the blood lust. Shirov clearly wanted to forfeit after his hands were shattered and he couldn't even defend himself. However, Hikaru continued to pummel him. Sometimes, when we let that savage that lives in all of us out of its cage, it's very difficult to put it back."

"So true Garry........Well, our competitors are ready, let's get back to the action."
