#3 ...A poisoned needle pops up from a knight, catches Kasparov in the hand - and Putin grins and whispers, "Checkmate..."

#6 Not that I give a rats ass about one less grand master (argueably one of the best of all time btw) but, I would miss a Putin critic with the kind of popularity he has. It might be a good idea for him to move to the U.S. I doubt he could be as effective living in the states though and I suspect that's more important to him than his security. Over the last few years he has made more and more noise. He is willingly risking his life for the good of his nation. Garry Kasparov is by all definitions a patriot. Russia will suffer if he gets croaked. Perhaps though, it could inspire revolt. I can imagine no more fitting tribute to a patriot.

#7 Russia is going to suffer greatly in the next century, no matter what. Its patriots are working to make its future better in whatever way they can.
