Glu Announce Kasparov Chess
|
 |
Glu Mobile today announced an agreement to develop and publish Kasparov Chess in partnership with Garry Kasparov, World Champion and the highest-ranked chess player of all time.
Kasparov Chess, which will be available through major network operators worldwide beginning in early 2007, will offer a number of ways to play including cross-carrier, international multi-player capabilities allowing players to challenge other chess players around the world. Complete features of the game will be announced upon launch.
"Kasparov has been closely involved with every step of the creation of the titles - from the development of the best-in-class engine to the interface and graphics," said
Jill Braff, general manager of the Americas, Glu Mobile. "Chess has been Kasparov's life's work, and it's an honor to work with a living legend to create a game that will reflect his expertise and passion for chess."
Garry Kasparov is the highest rated player in the history of chess. His historic exploits include defeating World Champion Anatoly Karpov in 1985 to become the youngest World Champion at the age of 22, and a series of highly publicized matches versus IBM's Deep Blue and subsequent even stronger computer competitors.
"Glu's development and deployment capabilities combined with their passion for delivering engaging games on the mobile platform made them the ideal partner to create this game," said Garry Kasparov. "From the creation of the chess engine to the multiplayer capabilities, Kasparov Chess will give players around the world a way to compete and progress in chess."
Kasparov Chess will be available to consumers through all major network operators around the world in early 2007.
