The #2 GOAT in chess behind Fischer comes out of retirement to play in a ten-player tournament, the Sinquefield Cup, in St. Louis between August 14-19.

Kasparov, 54, retired from professional chess in 2005.

I was a team Kasparov guy when he went against Karpov back in the day.

It sounds like he's being paid to appear for a tournament.

Surprised Putin hasn't had Kasparov wacked by now.

Always more of a Karpov guy myself. Kasparov v Karpov was like Celts-Lakers for chess.

Kasparov is probably the actual GOAT. Fischer gets overrated both because of romanticism and because he was American.

He doesn't sound as cool when you know his real name is Garry Weinstein.

Yeah he sort of went of the rails at the end but his entire life wasn't exactly a Norman Rockwell painting.
