First, read the rules of the game<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This week’s challenge is chess luminary and fellow human being Garry Kasparov<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n

And congratulations to Neel Mehta for winning last week’s challenge<\/a> by linking Tress MacNeille<\/a> to Sir Francis Bacon<\/a> in four degrees:<\/p>\n

Tress MacNeille > Lucille Ball > George Washington > Thomas Jefferson > Sir Francis Bacon<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
