    Die längste Partie
    Am 10. September 1984 startete in Moskau das Match um die Schachweltmeisterschaft zwischen Anatoli Karpow und Garri Kasparow. Der Zusammenprall zwischen dem regierenden Weltmeister und seinem aufmüpfigen jungen Herausforderer wurde mit viel Spannung erwartet, aber niemand konnte ahnen, was für eine epische Schlacht damit begann. In den nächsten sechs Jahren sollten sie fünf Matches um den höchsten Titel austragen und eine der heftigsten Rivalitäten in der Geschichte des Sports begründen.Die Matches zogen sich im Gesamten über atemberaubende 14 Monate hin, und die beiden "Ks" spielten 5.540 Züge in 144 Partien.Das erste Match machte Schlagzeilen und kam auf die Titelseiten der Tageszeitungen, als der FIDE-Präsident Florencio Campomanes nach fünf Monaten Spielzeit eingriff und das Match aus immer noch mysteriösen Gründen beendete. Ein neues Match wurde abgehalten, und der 22jährige Kasparow wurde der jüngste Weltmeister aller Zeiten.Sein Gewinn wurde nicht nur freudig begrüßt als ein Triumph des erfindungsreichen Angriffsschachs, sondern auch als politischer Sieg. Der Vertreter der "Perestroika" hatte den alten Champion geschlagen, der als Symbol der sowjetischen Stagnation galt. Kasparow verteidigte seinen Titel in drei weiteren Matches, die allesamt voller Dramen waren.In Die längste Partie zeichnet Jan Timman die vielen Drehungen und Wendungen dieser faszinierenden Heldensage nach. Miteinbegriffen sind seine persönlichen Eindrücke hinter den Kulissen; auf die Partien wirft er einen frischen, unverbrauchten Blick.

    Blessed
    These two outstanding musicians found each other through their love for music. Sandra and Gregory Maytan perform regularly together and give diverse programs and workshops on a high level. Välsignad" (Swedish for "blessed") features some of the oldest prayers, with and without words, of our Western civilization. Having been endowed with powers that transcend imagination, music is one of the most exalted blessings we possess. In the world's Holy Scriptures, music has been compared with being a "ladder for the soul". Depending on the motivation and skill of the composer, the artist and the audience, it has been given the power to heal and beautify, to refine, inspire and uplift. In order to truly grasp and experience the power and uniqueness of music, we need to allow for times of complete silence and meditation, even solitude, just as we need periods of fasting to enjoy the finest repast. Being somewhat remote from this physical world, music can also remind us of the mysterious state of "pre-existence" that many claim pre-dated all creation. The role of music in creation is expressed most beautifully in this ancient Arabic legend: When God created Adam, he first created his soul - pure, beautiful and radiant. He then bowed down and took red clay and dust from the earth into both of His hands, forming Adam's body. Adam's soul, with it's holy and refined nature, rejected the dirt and dust it was now expected to embrace. In order not to disrupt the purity of Adam's soul, God ordered a group of Angels to descend into Adam's body and to perform a heavenly concert. The moment Adam experienced the first sounds of their ethereal melodies, he fell into an ecstatic trance. Soon afterwards, the Angels ascended to their heavenly home, leaving Adam's divinely enchanted soul to bless and accompany him as he fulfilled his earthly destiny.
