Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon: Garry Kasparov

Friday, December 14th, 2007

First, read the rules of the game.

This week’s challenge is chess luminary and fellow human being Garry Kasparov.

I was able to link Garry Kasparov to Sir Francis Bacon in six degrees or fewer, though that shouldn’t stop you from posting a longer response, or looking for a shorter one. Entries will be accepted until midnight on Thursday, December 20.

Good luck!

And congratulations to Neel Mehta for winning last week’s challenge by linking Tress MacNeille to Sir Francis Bacon in four degrees:

Tress MacNeille > Lucille Ball > George Washington > Thomas Jefferson > Sir Francis Bacon

Tress MacNeille appeared in the video for “Ricky” as Lucille Ball, who is a descendent of George Washington, whose Secretary of State was Thomas Jefferson, who was heavily influenced by Sir Francis Bacon.
