Russian Police Seize Kasparov

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Russian police seized Garry Kasparov, the Russian chess champion, for staging a political rally against Vladimir Putin. IBM's Deep Blue computer was the first to beat a world champion when it defeated Kasparov, who is one of the strongest players in history." He's also been a giant critic of the Russian administration which is increasingly restricting free speech.

      I was gonna say
      In Soviet Russia, Kasparov seizes you!
      but that does not really apply.


      In Soviet Russia, Pawns seize Kasparov!

      sigh... I had to say it ...

    Don't worry. George Bush has looked at Putin's soul and pronounced it excellent.

      We can only assume he was comparing it to his own, in which case Putin's is excellent.

    First beaten by Blue, then by Red. For someone who spent the vast majority of their life pondering black and white, this has to be shocking splash of color.
