Kasparov guilty!

I don't know what Kasparov is guilty of, though. The only 2.1 rule I could find has to do with the board having 64 squares and which way it is oriented. I think this is more than him just playing a game with the board rotated a quarter turn or something.

Sounds like he bribed him... in writing?!? with a contract written by a lawyer?!?. wtf.

GK is a 1600 Elo politician.

Thank you. FIDE has an incredible number of rules 2.1.
