First indictment in Uranium One. Actual wrongdoing during the issue at hand, not some ten-year-old unrelated crime.

#3 Garry Kasparov
Garry set a numberof records. Highest rated player of all time (until supplanted by Carlsen), professional tournament wins, youngest-ever world champion (22) and a few other things.
His style was methodical and relentless. The smallest advantage and he would begin to reduce clutter and distill the game down to the critical, essential parts until the result was inevitable.

In the piece on Bobby, I mentioned his issues with FIDE (The F?d?ration Internationale des ?checs) the world governing body of chess. They are far more corrupt than the infamous world soccer organization (FIFA). Kasparov, as world champion began to form competing organizations and eventualy scheduled his own world championship match with England's Nigel Short in London. Fide of course banned them both and held their own world championship. Garry formed a few other organizations but nothing really materialized. He tried to run for president of Fide and was accused of trying to buy votes. Kasparov denies this, but if he did buy votes, he didn't buy enough. He lost to the incumbent by a decent margin.
Since then, Garry has been trying his hand at politics and coaching world champion candidates (like Magnus Carlsen). He has had a number of battles with Vladimir Putin and started a presidential campaign against him in 2007 (that he had to drop after being arrested for "demonstrating"). He ended up fleeing his home in Baku and eventually moving to Croatia due to attacks on ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan and some KGB warnings about his safety. He has lived in Croatia since 2014.Last edited by AlabamAlum; January 14, 2018, 10:58 AM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

This post made me recall an article that I came across late last year. It has some of the loaded language of the left but it is factually correct. It also describes Donald Trump as a racketeer which may be or maybe not be a little off but I get the point. The article further foretells a US, under the Trump administration, that is more like Putin's Oligarchy in Russia than it is Reagan's shining city (beacon of democracy) on the hill.Originally posted by entropy View Post
I've also posted a link to the web site I frequently use to make sure I understand from which political viewpoint a particular media source is coming from.
Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment
