As the world’s greatest chess player, Garry Kasparov employed his
formidable intellect to outwit rivals before seizing on a weakness to
crush them. The Russian grandmaster is now applying those skills to a
new game of strategy aimed at defeating his toughest opponent of all —
President Putin. At stake, he argues, is the fate of Russian democracy.
Mr Kasparov has devoted himself to politics since retiring from
professional chess last year. He regards Mr Putin as a dictator whose
authoritarian rule threatens to return Russia to a dark past.
