Above the 20 nominating federations of Garry Kasparov’s ticket, there were 3 that nominated Sheikh Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Hamed in Garry Kasparov’s ticket (Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Puerto Rico).
Nakamura endorses Kasparov. He’ll win & Nakamura will be the next world champion.
Nakamura will only win the world championship if Kasparov wins the election.
Nakamura will only win the world championship if Kasparov wins the election.
Nakamura will only win the world championship if Kasparov wins the election.
Even if Kasparov wins, Nakamura wont win a Candidates match because he has no talent to do it. He might be good in chess which he acquired thru experience but wont equal the super talent of the multiple young prodigees.
We need a change. We need Kasparov, badly.
Kasparov will lose this match big time. Kirsan’s personality and low profile attitude is preferred by many chess voting nation. Kaspa’s technique is harassment and dictatorship. Time to demolish this very ambitious guy. JUST SAY NO TO KASPA he is a nicotine to this association.
Is it legal for Kasparov to use money from Kasparov Chess Foundation to bribe for votes? Does the IRS approve this?
Nakamura has theoretical chances to win the world championship but Kasparov has not to win the election. Just Garry is trying to make some good money. Good luck!
A) WHAT HAPPENS IF BOTH GET ZERO VOTES AFTER VOTING?
B) WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE GETS 2 VOTES AND THE OTHER ONE GETS ONE VOTE?
Kirsan will crush the arrogant Kasparov by big margin.Nakamura will definitely become Under12 World champion.he is on carlsem’s feet everytime.
IRS has advised that Kasparov Chess Foundation to lose tax exempt status
