I wonder what Kasparov wrote in the latest NIC about the upcoming FIDE
elections ? Can anybody quote his words here ?

Mmh. let's think. They bring an interview, where Kasparov only hints at
an article and doesn't say more. Being on a campaign site you would
expect the hinted text to be positive. Well, If I were them, I
definitely would bring this quote. But where is it? Where in the world
could it be? Tough! Maybe directly after the interview!? Yeah, sounds
reasonable. Let's see. Well, there is a picture at the end. Maybe I
have to scroll a bit more down ... YES! There it is:

"I've also been pondering whom to burden withmy endorsement for FIDE
president. It looks like we will have a three-man race between Kirsan
Ilyumzhinov, Anatoly Karpov, and Bessel Kok - the ruinous status quo,
a return to the crooked past, and someone with the experience to at
last professionalize the sport. Tough choice, I'll have to consider a
while longer..."

Greetings,
Ralf

OK, thanks Ralf for the quotation. I can see that the choice would be
relatively easy for me if those three challengers started for FIDE
presidency. FIDE is in need of transparent sponsoring so I would chose
Bessel Kok. It would be the right move :-)
