A 4-month
chess event held in
1999 by
MSN Gaming Zone in which chess
champion Gary Kasparov played against the "World Team", composed of registered users voting via internet for moves proposed by
analysts and a
moderator. One of the key World Team members was 15-year-old
Chess Master Irina Krush, whose proposed moves (she was one of the analysts) were chosen on a constant basis. She was the one who proposed move 10, among others, which was considered an "
opening novelty" by Kasparov itself. The event had its
controversy, since it was proven that multiple votes were entered by single users; also, software
glitches on
Microsoft's side prevented Krush from posting move proposals.
