Maradona meets Karpov


It's nice to notice that football legend Diego Maradona has been hosting a unique programme on the Argentine TV. A more interesting & historic event was that he recently met former world champion of chess Anatoly Karpov of Russia. They played a game of chess together and the result was a draw!

Later after the game Karpov presented a wooden chess set to the football magician Maradona with autograph and Maradona gave him an autographed football in return. This wonderful gesture of friendship was indeed unique. In the past, there was another historical encounter between the two living legends of football on earth Maradona & Pele.
