[edit] NPOV in the Modern Chess books section
This section is clearly an opinion and is not encyclopedic:
Kasparov ... as always provides witty and interesting insights into some of the more notable games played. A welcome and invaluable addition to the work is a section at the end of the book in which top opening theoreticians provide their own "take" on the progress made in opening theory in the 1970s. 74.196.205.92 (talk) 19:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed. I have toned it down. Krakatoa (talk) 01:08, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Edit to "Great Predecessors" Section
I removed these lines from the discusssion of the book: "In looking at the best player of all time, many would look to the Fischer of 1972, who won the Interzonal by 3 1/2 points, two candidates matches 6-0, and 20 games in a row before defeating Spassky. Many consider the Fischer of 1972 the best player of all time, and the book was largely an attempt by Kasparov to establish his superiority."
This is not related to Kasparov's book; it the contributor's defense of Bobby Fischer. Grumpy otter (talk) 09:59, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
The article mentions Kasparovs' wives, but only by their first names. It is traditional in biographical articles to include a wife's original family name ("maiden name") where possible. The beginning and ending years of his marriages should also be included. --71.174.165.111 (talk) 14:25, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
and why is it in the 'Retirement from chess section' ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.177.53.242 (talk) 11:33, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Weinstein
In his new book Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov, he uses the name Weinstein up to 1975. Is that when he changed it to Kasparov, and should that be in the article? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 15:20, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
According to his new book, his birth name was Garik, not Garry. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 12:56, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
"Widely regarded in the West as a symbol of opposition to Putin, Kasparov's support in Russia is low.[4]" This is poor English (change of object midsentence). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.163.95.11 (talk) 11:12, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
