England’s Channel 4 has the rights to 60 hours of coverage. The contest could extend as long as 24 games or eight weeks. Kasparov is expected to win in 18 or 20 games if previous results have their usualpredictive value.Because single playing sessions will extend up to six hours when necessary (previous world championships had a five-hour limit), there will be few if any adjournments. And a 3:30 p.m. starting time will guarantee a reportable result for evening news.Count on the London Times,sponsor of the event, to offer extensive if not partisan coverage. The Times is the flagship paper of Rupert Murdock's media colossus NewsInternational, also good guys to have in your corner from awpublic relations standpoint.Meanwhile, the World Chess Federation is planningto hold its own version of theworld championship featuring ex-champion Anatoly Karpovof Russia and the Dutch grandmaster Jan Timman.Which match is the “real world championship?For the chess aficionado, interest will be directed towardKasparov-Short.
