He has already left Russia 9 years ago fearing his life. He actually was a presidential candidate in Russia until he encountered logistical problems that he blamed on official obstruction
To be fair, he could be a serious contender to replace Putin so it is not a big surprise that he is in danger
I’d guess he would be a mediocre player I would lose to. Chess was actually highly regarded as a mind sport in the USSR and even taught in schools. And even if Putin is stupid, there are ways he can ensure I would never win (placing the chessboard on his side of his long table and getting me shot by security if I attempt to approach it).
Looks like he lives in the US. He’d better be careful if the Cheeto takes power. Donny would love to send him to his Russian piss buddy in the Kremlin.
A city court in Syktyvkar, the largest city in Russia’s northwestern Komi region, is charging Kasparov of “creating a terrorist society, leading it, financing terrorist activities, and publicly justifying them,” according to Kremlin-backed outlet TASS.
Its getting rediculous how countries trump up charges against their enemies.
It’s like the people who used to put messages about preventing Facebook from using their content in their profile descriptions. It probably won’t actually do anything, but it’s a nice thought and more power to them if it makes them feel better.
“more power to them” it it makes them feel better.
What a funny statement. “More power to them” while it won’t do anything because they dont have the power to prevent facebook doing what its doing so its just making them feel better.
It’s a hilarious theory with zero evidence to back it up, but equally zero evidence to refute it. There’s beauty in its possibility and ultimate unknowability
