Erm, no. Shogi is played on a 9x9 (unchequered) board.

His games in the blitz earlier this year. https://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/05/garrys-comeback/

Not bad for a politician or whatever Kasparov has been doing since 2005.

Kasparov himself said that he's keeping his expectations for the tournament in line with his "senior amateur status". Personally, I can't wait for this event ...he has been responsible for some of the most entertaining and nail-biting chess games in history.

I remember him describing some 2650 players as 'enthusiastic amateurs'. Second tier for sure but would kick butt in any club.

I'm surprised Kasparov stayed away for so long to be honest. I thought he would leave it for a couple of years then make a comeback.

The Master is back. Could he possibly be still on the ball to regain the world title?

I think if he competes in the candidates, he would have as much chance of winning the world championship as any of the current top contenders: So, Kramnik, Caruana, Karjakin, Aronian. If he gets to keep his rating (2812) and competes in the World Cup as an Organizer Nominee he would qualify for the candidates, but that is his only route to the 2018 series.

You have to qualify for the candidates but there is always one
spot open for a wildcard usually chosen by the host country,
last year it was held in Moscow and the wild card was Aronian.

GK is a turd from Botvinnik's arrs. More than a bad man, he sold shreds of his soul to the Devil. I don't give a fyk if he's going to make comeback. Everyone who ever played against him testified that they'd felt an intense stream of evil energy as they were mentally raped. GK is a spiritual bully, he was just a BB's (Baturinsky.Botvinnik) weapon their ego-trip-dolly to make Karpov's life miserable, he was a mean of personal revenge of lowest level. He is a malice's product, he is a kind of Nash character in "From Russia With Love" by Ian Fleming.

This is why I always read VdV's comments. Never know what you're going to get. Mentally raped! How exactly does that work? Not that I'm disagreeing with you, I'm just trying to understand.
