The quote in the title of this blog post was made by a Grandmaster and former world chess champion. If you don't believe me, please go to the London Times piece published here.
Who would have thought that democracy in Russia would bring an end to, of all things, the old Soviet domination of this sport? Will wonders never cease?
As well, Garry Kasparov has just written a new book entitled How Life Imitates Chess. He's an extremely intelligent man, a great writer (if you've ever seen his occasional contributions to the Wall Street Journal) and has a real political mind. I haven't seen this book yet, but I highly recommend it based on his past insights and political commentary.
