Kasparov was so brave to leave FIDE because he didn't agree FIDE policies. We don't encourage that but should be there a vote for Kasparov!

Kasparov - I like his style

I like Anatoly Karpov. Calm, great personality. I respect him more than Kasparov.

Kasparov likes spot lights, ''a little'' show-off. And he had shown a few (!) incidents of bad sportmanships throughout the chess history.

That's exactly why I also like Karpov more than Kasparov.

Kaspy! 
I'm a bit suspicious to say but- Basically what got me into chess was that when I was a pre-teenager I had this older cousin which was into chess. I've had a Playstation console and they would borrow my console all the time to play this stupid Kasparov Chess game (which I found way too boring at the time) and I couldn't play my fun stuff cause I borrowed it to them.

Then on my late teenager years I've met chess again and researched the game (because of them) and it totally made 100% sense to me, so I begun studying it and improving with whatever tools I could get.

When I begun using Chess.com I remember that at the time I did not have much money and so was dreaming of a Diamond membership. After I got promoted on my job I've had an increase in my paycheck and the 1st thing I did was buying a Diamond Membership which was something I've dreamed about for a long time (to do Lessons and endless Tactics) and wow!

I don't remember what this all had to do with Kasparov but yeah it got me going on Chess so I've voted for him. xD
