"The New Yorker" Article on Kasparov

By reading David Remnick's 12-page article on Garry Kasparov in The New Yorker, I learned more than I needed to know about the upcoming 2008 presidential election in Russia!

My favorite paragraph is the following one, regarding chess instead of politics.

Kasparov is always careful to give Fischer his due as a player (“probably he was second to me”) and avoid the rest. But when Fischer played Spassky again, in 1992, Kasparov could not resist telling New in Chess that Fischer was “like [Bjorn] Borg playing tennis with a wooden racket. . . . Now he’s someone from the past. He doesn’t belong to our world. He’s an alien.”
