From what I recall the "rules" say that, but that view is - according to the video anyways - not in line with the fundamentals of law, so say the lawyers in question...

Once a month I hear about Paul's supporters infiltrating the delegate-selection process, but my understanding is that they are party-rule-bound to vote in the first round per the consequences of the primary. If it goes to a second round, all delegates are unbound and a Harding/Eisenhower situation may unfold. This is the first I've heard of U.S. law governing political party rules regarding delegates.

WCC Kasparov has had, since childhood, some serious peronsal issues that derail politics but not talent nor fame. WCC RJF shared some of those traits as well.

Fischer is like my eternal chess hero. He was a rebel and was not easily swayed by any point of view. He is like the John Wayne of chess. I think geniuses are prone to hypotheses that are not easily accepted by peasants. I was so hoping Kasparov would have won the presidency when he ran. I think that would have done great things for chess and for Russian/US relations.

Some of the upper-echelon commentators immediately seized upon the specific move. It did not gain traction as Kasparov has pronounced nearly as many nutjob opinions as Fischer.

It was a very tragic loss. It wasn't fair because a machine has no trepidation and has vastly greater calculative ability. I knew that if a genius like Kasparov was suspicious about human intervention that there was something to it.

Game 2 definitely demonstratedinterference by then-IM JB (Iwon't give him thesatisfaction of being named,and he is certainly no JamesBrown). There is a particularpoint around move 19-23 wherethe brute-forceparallel-programming RS-232should have by all meansdemanded a certain move butintervention certainlyoccurred. Garri played wellbut missed the easy draw ingame two and melted down,resigned in less than a realhour, in game 6 playing theCaro-Kann which I had neverseen him do,

I'll comment on the 1997 Kasparov-IBM match another time. I attended game five. At the time, I made what is now called a blog about it. I have many strong statements in my holster regarding that match.
