I read in Russian site that Karpov (WC #12) wanted to visit Kasparov (WC #13)

in the jail, but authorities did not allow him.

Authorities did not allow him... There's no democracy with Putin, just dictatorship. But (1) I don't live in Russia so I don't know enough facts to say I'm sure and (2) I think one of the forum rules was not to discuss politics here Wink

 

I don't think Kasparov is waiting for Karpov's visit though. Kasparov quit chess and is barely interested in chess anymore (other than making money from chess now and then). I think he would rather be visited by the opposition leader or someone else supporting him with his politics.

We shouldn't talk politics, but, from what I know, Kasparov is a real Fireball. I would love to meet him.

Because I'm a 69 IQ genius and I know everything.

I think he's perfectly free and in Lithuania. I found something about a recent interview. I'll have to look at the details.

Free him

Has anyone used his online app? It looks kind of pricey at a 120 bucks a year.

I played the Kasparov Radio Shack computer for years as my only chess companion. I still have it and it still works. Not sure what its rating is.
