He was born in Azerbaijan which was part of the Soviet Union which was not really Russia. But he's Russian now. So you're right.

Kasparov is not Russian.
Gary Kasparov was not born in Russia, but the referent was to the name, not the person. The name "Gary Kasparov" is a Russian-sounding name.

It's not his original name. The original name is Garry Kimovich Weinstein. Off hand, I don't think Garry sounds very Russian.

But Garry Kasparov's 'real' name (the one he was born with) was : Garik Kimovich Weinstein.
He is not really Russian (but is Soviet - born in Baku, Azerbaijan.)

yes - we are way off the subject - which means nobody can think of a clever Russian sounding name for a fictitious world champion chess player
