So, here it is, sign a petition for Kasparov 2!
He needs to come back and do better next year. And, as we've seen, when he shakes off some rust, he can do just that!

So, add a huge +1 to indicate your support and demand for Kasparov to return. This is the largest chess website, and if we all make our voices heard, the petition will generate a momentum and, hopefully, bring the Boss back to the board where he belongs.

Are you all on board, folks? Just add a big +1 signature to send the message loud and clear. You can add as many exclams after it as you like.

Thank you, KassySC! Hopefully more and more people will join and sign.
If it'd stop him from sharing of all of his bad political takes, I'm cool with this.

Let's remember that many of today's players have increased their knowledge and skill on the backs of chess giants and none are bigger than Kasparov. Kasparov is a master of chess and a masterful man. He is a genius with an unparallelled record and devotion to the game. His courage goes well beyond the board and into the world of international politics. Speaking out against the Russian government is risking one's life yet Garry has done so many times and continues to be a fair and outspoken critic. I would love to see him compete again in a classic format, which is the true test of any chessmaster. Blitz and Rapid is amusing but it is not real chess.
Oh, please. His political worked is pretty much a huge failure. Hardly anyone in Russia takes the guy seriously (especially now that he lives in the US and advocates for tough sanctions against Russia that hurt ordinary people the most). On his worst day as a chess player he is far greater than on his best political activist day.
So no, Kasparov doesn't belong in politics - a swamp with strange rules, his place is at the board where there's clear logic and fair play.
And he does need to shake off rust to be sure. It will be nice to see him do that and play up to his full potential. This is why it's important to sign a petition for the man to return where he belongs.
I hate to be "the bearer of bad news", but ultimately, it is his choice. If he decides to go or not to go, we can't stop him. So, what's with the petition if you can't get him to play?
Ahola, folks!
I'm sure there were many of you who watched the St. Louis event and enjoyed it bigly
and so did I.
And there's one particular reason it was great: Garry Kasparov!
