Garry Kasparov was KGB

Sort:

After hearing on here that Fischer was a massive anti-semite (which greatly confused me), I found out he also claims Kasparov (who I know is held in high regards in the chess world) never played a game of chess that wasn't fixed and he was KGB. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2002/12/bobby-fischer-s-pathetic-endgame/302634/

 

I just wanted to see the reactions about this. Today has been quite the learning experience.

Fischer was a brilliant chess player.  Study his moves.

Fischer a was mentally disturbed person, you can largely ignore anything he ever said at any age.

Waffle, I read a lot about him today. As a person, he seems like quite the loser. Too bad.

I think Karpov makes a better spy than Kasparov. LOL Laughing

Who came up with the idea of coded yogurt?

That's the best summary of Fischer I think I've ever heard (and lets be honest, theres been no shortage of "what do you think of Fischer" threads on this forum). With one minor amendment:

Fischer was a brilliant chess player.  Study his moves.

Fischer a was mentally disturbed person, you can, and should, largely ignore anything he ever said at any age.

that would make him an average chess player with moves like Jagger

Fischer claimed that every game of all five Karpov-Kasparov matches was pre-arranged.

DrSpudnik ~ Korchnoi's team at Baguio City, 1978, made the yogurt allegation.  That match was full of wild accusations, they had to X-ray the chairs before the match!  Karpov had a parapsychologist and hypnotist on his team who sat in the front row and stared at Korchnoi, who responded with mirrored sunglasses (reminiscent of Benko-Tal), which inspired another protest.

The incident came when a flavored yogurt was brought to Karpov that he did not send for.  Korchnoi's team suggested the flavor could be coded instruction.  Later Korchnoi said that was a joke, referencing the hysteria from the early games.

Now if Fischer had only been smart enough to have been born a Russian, he would never have gotten so trolled!

Some of the highlights of that article.

  • Bobby Fischer is being persecuted by world Jewry.

Sports Radio management has happily provided Fischer with hours of free airtime to spin his classic R&B records and to lash out at his enemies, both real and imagined. Fischer categorizes these enemies—including the former New York mayor Ed Koch, both Presidents Bush, and the Times Mirror Corporation—as "Jews, secret Jews, or CIA rats who work for the Jews."

  • The United States government is a "brutal, evil dictatorship" that has falsely accused Bobby Fischer of a crime and forced him to live in exile.
  • Bobby Fischer has been swindled out of a "vast fortune" in royalties by book publishers, movie studios, and clock manufacturers (yes, clock manufacturers), who have brazenly pilfered his brand name, patents, and copyrights.

(Okay. He may have a point about the clock manufacturers.)

  • The Jews are a "filthy, lying bastard people" bent on world domination through such insidious schemes as the Holocaust ("a money-making invention"), the mass murder of Christian children ("their blood is used for black-magic ceremonies"), and junk food (William Rosenberg, the founder of Dunkin' Donuts, is singled out as a culprit).

Chess is nothing more than "mental masturbation." Not only is the game dead, it's fixed. Gary Kasparov, the world's top-rated player, is a "crook" and a former KGB spy who hasn't played a match in his life in which the outcome wasn't prearranged.

I read in an article today that Elvis is still alive.  Seems legit...

Elvis might not be alive today, but he certainly didn't die when the public thinks he did.  Probably died in the 90's.

kasparov isn't KGB because I saw him flying a UFO which makes him Bigfoot.

If you publish your theory in an online article, it would also make your claim legit! Cool

From what I heard, Fischer made his diatribe after he had a problem with a rental storage unit where the owner happened to be Jewish. Wouldn't it make as much sense to Fischer's mind to call him as crazy for making aggressive moves on a chess board? I believe his whole diatribe was aimed at getting the storage unit owner to return some of his prized goods, or maybe get revenge on the owner. I doubt he fully considered the consequences of his error in making a diatribe at all the Jewish people at once. Nobody in the media ever criticized Fischer for capturing someone's Queen or making a smart checkmate, so he was probably blindsided when there was a media response to his initial criticism of the owner. Unfortunately instead of realizing that a different contest has different rules, he attributed the media response to a conspiracy.  Fischer was naive and fell into a bad pattern and took a wrong path. He never meant to start a fight with the whole Jewish population of the world.

Is this how the Russians treat KGB?

If you ask russian Putin & most russians these days, they'll tell you that today's Kasparov, his party & his politics are the "enemy within" of Russia, and that Kasparov is an "agent" of the Americans. There's no end to it... Arabs & Jews, both are semites, descendants from Abraham & "Sem, Noah's son", according to a funny & bloody book. So, must be more specific: Anti-Jew or Anti-Arab, or perhaps Anti-Christian, as many are... Now, "that greatly confuse me"...

But why is Kasparov not happening any harm?? You know even people in switzerland get killed if a general doesnt like them. You know russia is not the only famous person who critizised putin, but he is the only one who doesnt seem to get any damage. He is like the teflon don, untouchable...

Do you really think Putin would fear the outrage of every russian  because they care so much of Kasparov and that they have no other idols themKasparov, i mean does really every russian think Kasparov is like superman.
