Michael Sheen is one of the great underappreciated actors. He’s done strangely chameleon like stints as Tony Blair (crazed British Prime Minister), Brian Clough (crazed football manager) and David Frost (interviewing crazed ex-US president Nixon), but most people know him as a werewolf in the shitty Underworld series. Now he’s going to play another famous person, in the new Manic Street preachers single: chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov.

The concept is the tense chess matches between Kasparov and Fischer which became a metaphor for the Cold War, as Nicky Wire and James Dean Bradfield feel this is a suitable backdrop for a song entitled (It’s Not War) Just the end of Love, but if there’s one thing we’ve never seen mentioned about the relationship of Kasparov and Fischer it’s love.
