Everytime I save a file (doc, jpg, mp4, MIDI, pdf, odf, mp3...) named "Garry Kasparov" or "Gari Kasparov", that application freezes. The same is true if I type his name and use a search function in any internet browser (chrome, edge, firefox, pale moon, vivaldi). The browser just hangs. I can create a new folder "Garry Kasparov", but I cannot save a file by that name, it causes the software to crash. If I type something similar like "Kaspersky", "Kashmir", "Kassandra" there are no problems, but "Kasparov" kills any application that runs. Is it maybe an antivirus issue? Or some weird quirk in Windows code (since it runs fine in linux)? It's incredibly strange and annoying. Err, I doubt that I'm being spied by the kremlin, though I've ran an antivirus check, and it turns out that there were some unwanted programs installed on my pc (mostly harmless trackers). I also ran anti-rootkit software, and they didn't find anything. Now, I'm able to type "Garry Kasparov" and strangely, it doesn't freeze applications anymore. Yet, it causes them to slow down (!?). Ehh, whatever...

Kasparov: I wish Trump would decide if Comey is leaking or lying, because accusing him of leaking lies doesn't make much sense. See https://twitter.com/Kasparov63/status/873746880005521408

give some suitable study plan.

Does former World Chess Champion GM Garry Kasparov still do simultaneous chess deomonstrations? If so, could you tell me the next one? I would love to attend one. DZ

I know Garry Kasparov retired, but is there anybody that was his equal throughout his career? The only one I can think of is his long time rival Anatoly Karpov, when he was young, but is there anybody else? I thought possibly Kramnik, since Kasparov lost to him in a title match, but I know Kasparov wanted to retire, so I don't know how much he really prepared for it.
