Kasparov at Cambridge (and other news)

   In between arrests and other politically-based activities, Garry
   Kasparov has been promoting his latest book, entitled [1]How Life
   Imitates Chess. One such occasion took place in Cambridge,
   Massachusetts, and you can read the transcript of that meeting
   [2]here, on the Chess Horizons website. (Other pdf samples of Chess
   Horizons can be accessed [3]here.)
   Speaking of Kasparov and politics, his bid for the Presidency has
   ended. You can read more about this [4]here, but the gist is that the
   Russian authorities (i.e. Putin's cronies) prevented him from formally
   registering for the March 2 presidential vote. As for what Putin has
   in mind for the future of Russia (and his leadership thereof), the
   following makes for [5]helpful reading.
