Oy.  Barely a news footnote in the states.  I heard about it because it was
on a chess site, and only then because Kasparov had tangled with the
commies.

This is the first I have heard of it.

That isn't news, but the legal handling of his case interests me.  It is
clear enough that the charges against him are trumped up, and they really
want him for his actions on transparency.  I have mixed feelings, but I am
more with him than against him.  Regarding narcissistic, his personality
isn't a concern to me.  I vaguely recall his being an occasional poster on
ExI back in the old days, didn't play well with the other kids if memory
serves correctly.
