NEW YORK, OCT 23: A worldwide team of internet chess players resigned its game against World champion Garry Kasparov after a gripping, four-month battle on a Microsoft web site that broke new ground in chess theory. Kasparov, 36, considered by many experts to be the best player in the history of the game, was about to promote his only remaining pawn to a second queen in a technically complex endgame, when ``The World'' team ran out of opportunities to even force a draw.Kasparov opened with the white pieces on June 21 at a ceremony in New York and the contest lasted longer than many expected, ending yesterday on the 62nd move.
