A stunning move for a Chess Guru
Thursday, May 22, 2008 by PPV
Opening move: this post is not for minors.
Gary Kasparov, also widely known for being the first world chess champion to lose a match to a computer, when he lost to Deep Blue in 1997 was again shocked by another technology.
This time, a remote controlled helipenis. Yes, you read it right! Kasparov is a leader of the Other Russia movement, a loose coalition of activists opposing Vladamir Putin and the current Russian government.
Kasparov was interrupted by this "thing" during his speech. Better watch the video while it's still there:
Here's the translation courtesy of waxy:
After the security guard swatted it to the ground, Kasparov says, "I think we have to be thankful for the opposition's demonstration of the level of discourse we need to anticipate. Also, apparently most of their arguments are located beneath the belt." Someone in the audience shouts, "Finally the political power shows its face!" Kasparov quickly replies, "Well, if that's its face..." to laughter from the audience.
