(Has he been reading ET?)

BTW, there was an interesting (and admittedly quite anti-Putin) article in the last Atlantic about Kasparov (yes, the chess player) mounting some opposition movement to challenge Putin. Worth a read, but I don't think it is online yet.

Politically Kasparov is Russia's Fischer. I don't think he has much of a chance.

Oh, he has no plans to run. He's just going around setting up town hall-type meetings and drumming up support for democratic reforms.
