Ice Chess
Cool factor: Ice Chess
Match: England vs Russia
Venue: Moscow’s Pushkin Square and London’s Trafalgar Square (simultaneously)
My take: This was one of those games, played almost a fortnight back, where winning was a not a criteria. The clash between Russian and British chess masters Anatoly Karpov and Nigel Short (respectively) ended up in a draw, ending the “cold war”.

The pawns were made from ice; some of these pawns were carved in a way that they represented various famous landmarks of the two cities. The game was held on a chessboard measuring 64 square yards, with each team being allotted 30 seconds for each move.
