Is Kasparov back in the chess world?

"Six winning moves" is his program and obviously money is the key.

Do you think he has a chance to unseat 18-year incumbent Kirsan Ilyumzhinov in this 2014 election?

Garry has a chance. My estimation is 50/50.

Money has nothing to do with it at all. It all has to do with the votes of the dodgy african nations. You know. The ones who have one vote, the same number of votes as federations that have thousands of fide rated players, but do not have a single fide rated player.

One vote per federation, no matter how many fide rated players or members you have. So is it all a matter of how much you can bribe or offer the african nations.

It's politics, he has no chance.
