The former world chess champion Garry Kasparov entered Russia's presidential race on Sunday, elected overwhelmingly as the candidate for the country's beleagured opposition coalition. Kasparov has been a driving force behind the coalition, which has united liberals, leftists and nationalists in opposition to President Vladimir Putin. He received 379 of 498 votes at a national congress held in Moscow by the Other Russia coalition. (Maybe Bobby Fischer could come out of hiding and jump in the U.S. Presidential campaign. He couldn’t do any worse than the bunch that we have running now.)
