Garry Kasparov accepting our proposal for a chess expedition 'Around the World in 64 Games'.

We have the 2008 Olympic games coming up in Beijing and the 2012 Olympic Games coming to London.We are supporting the London bid and hoping to have chess in both games and recognised as a full medal sport. Two of the team are planning a trip to all 5 continents and plan to visit 64 countries we have marked on our magic chess board.
