Meet Kasparov, Reimeet A Legend, Run U.S. Chess - Chess.com

With Zurich, Grenke, Reykjavik, and Poikovsky tournaments all taking place nearly simultaneously, you might think there's no room for "In Other News." But this is the digital age; there's room for anything! You can choose to meet a former world champion, learn about an American chess legend, help save a local chess shop, or even lead the 90,000 players of the U.S. Chess Federation. No, this doesn't mean the former world champion will be staging protests in the streets like he did while running for political office in Russia. Instead, Kasparov will be appearing at Techcrunch's "Disrupt NY" event on May 17, 2017.
