In March Russia added GM Garry Kasparov to its list of "terrorists and extremists". Last week they went one step further to arrest the chess legend in absentia for "terrorist activities".

For anyone unaware of who Kasparov is, he’s a very famous chess World Champion from Russia who held the title for 15 years.

      It’s like the people who used to put messages about preventing Facebook from using their content in their profile descriptions. It probably won’t actually do anything, but it’s a nice thought and more power to them if it makes them feel better.

        “more power to them” it it makes them feel better.

        What a funny statement. “More power to them” while it won’t do anything because they dont have the power to prevent facebook doing what its doing so its just making them feel better.
