Garry Kasparov in The King (Putin) and I

Garry Kasparov, who is arguably the greatest chess player of all time,
announced his retirement from professional chess play on Friday. He
said he planned to write books and become more active in the politics
of Russia.

"As a chess player, I did everything I could, even more. Now I want to
use my intellect and strategic thinking in Russian politics. I will do
everything in my power to resist Putin's dictatorship. My opinion is that
the country is headed down the wrong path now."
