News about Garry Kasparov

Tech boss Nicola Hodson, who runs computer giant IBM in the UK and Ireland, wants to let women into her secret for combining career and family life. Don't try to be a superwoman and do it all on your own. Get yourself a pit crew. By which she means a supportive posse of people who will help you fulfil your roles as boss, mother, wife, daughter and friend - as well as taking care of yourself. Hodson, who is in her fifties and married with three sons and two stepsons, is a rare woman leader in tech, which remains a male-dominated field.

After polling stations opened on Friday morning, voting is expected to end tonight. Putin is expected to win by landslide, despite having to oust all of his credible opponents. As polls come to an end, Kremlin spokesmans have urged Russians to keep protesting around the region.

Navalny died after being sick on a walk at the Arctic penal colony, where he was detained, according to Russia's federal prison service. In remarks from the White House last night, Biden said, 'Make no mistake, Putin is to blame for Navalny's death.' He was a strong voice for the truth even in prison.' Navalny had been "brutally murdered by the Kremlin," according to Latvia's president, Edgars Rinkevics, while French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne said his death "reminds us of the truth of Putin's regime." Across the world, demonstrations have erupted, with hundreds of people gathering to pay their respects to Navalny and brand Putin, a 'killer' on self-made signs.

The 71-year-old president and former KGB spy were shown animated and merrily greeting workers at a factory in Chelyabinsk in the Ural mountains. Despite the shocking news, the Russian emperor - who is on a two-day visit to the area - toured the museum before speaking out and addressing a crowd, apparently unconcerned by rising international outcry. Kremlin spokesperson Dimitry Peskov had already announced that Putin had been warned of the death of his ardent critic, but in a video of the meeting released after the announcement, the Russian leader made no mention of Navalny. Since Putin rarely spoke about Navalny, he made it a point never to mention the activist by name or similar words in an apparent attempt to diminish his importance.

Yuliya Navalnaya said today in a defiant and emotional address at the Munich Security Conference: "I don't know if you believe the fright news we received - just from Russian state sources." Because we haven't been able to believe Putin and his administration for many years, they will always lie. However, if it's true, I want Putin, his entire crew, and all of his relatives to know that if they have done to our country, my family, and my husband. ' That day will come very soon.' Navalny's death was reported by Russian news outlets this afternoon, blaming the Siberian prison service in which he was serving his sentence, but giving no reason or further details. Global opinion and outrage erupted, with world leaders and commentators pointing the finger at the Kremlin.

JAMES SHARPE: He may not have the most effective forehand, but he certainly doesn't have the most deadly dropshot. And here it is again. Wimbledon is the ninth finalist. With no loss on Centre Court since losing to Andy Murray in the 2013 final, there is a chance to win five in a row. Djokovic was a computer model from the start. A bit like Deep Blue against chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov. He finds out the opponent's weakest area and then hits ball after ball into those areas.

The UK must brace for a 'deeply dangerous and unpredictable' post-Vladimir Putin (top right) Russia, as he wonders whether the country will'go full on fascist' in the aftermath of Wagner's assassination (bottom right). The Ukraine war, which has dragged on for 16 months and claimed a large number of Russian troops, had already damaged Putin's image as a tough leader. However, analysts said that when Yevgeny Prigozhin ordered his Wagner mercenaries to march toward Moscow in an attempted coup, it showed even more defects in the president. As all attention is on Putin's next move after Prigozhin was exiled from Belarus in a deal that saw him withdrawing his private army away from Moscow at the 11th hour, security specialist Edward Lucas (left) pointed out the growing challenges that the UK could face if there was a change of leadership.

The former chess champion and ardent Putin critic Garry Kasparov said the 70-year-old had been 'humiliated.' Others described how he was compelled to rely on Belarus' president for help.

Garry Kasparov, the former chess champion and a vociferous Putin critic (left), said the 70-year-old had been 'humiliated.' Others remarked how he was forced to rely on Belarus' president to make a deal with Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner mercenary chief, when it was announced. Prigozhin will go to neighboring Belarus, where charges of initiating an armed rebellion will be dropped under Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov's announcement. Fighters who were active in the fight, the government said, would not sue fighters who were not involved. Prigozhin's decision to abandon his challenge to Putin's throne is vague, and a lot of rumors has emerged on Saturday night about why he backed down and what the hellish and surreal uprising was all about.

IAN HERBERT, PETE JENSON, AND SIMON JONES All the dinner Pep Guardiola shared with Garry Kasparov in New York in the midst of a sabbatical from football 11 years ago had a competitive vigour about it. Kasparov, the Chess grandmaster, said he had given up the ghost against a 22-year-old Norwegian challenger, saying he would never defeat him. Guardiola, who was concerned about his own sense of professional exhaustion, confronted him again and again, asking for an explanation that Kasparov was reluctant to provide. It was a similar discussion at the dinner table the night between these two primevally driven individuals, Daria Tarasova and Cristina Serra, who gave the explanation. Kasparov was worn out by the knowledge of what six hours of cognitive overload during matches really entailed, although Magnus Carlsen, the challenger, was ignorantly unaware. The intellectual curiosity is what makes this conversation relevant to a discussion of why Guardiola has brought football management to a new degree. He is, according to journalist Marti Perarnau, who has written some of Guardiola's most readable pieces: a man who challenges everything.' In this regard, he may be obsessive.'

Tanitoluwa Adewumi's family, which included Tani's mother, father, and 19-year-old brother, all arrived in New York in 2017 as his Christian brood were forced to leave Nigeria. Adewumi had defeated 73 different opponents and was named New York State chess champion in less than two years, when he was just eight years old. His family was housed in a homeless shelter. Tani - a chess champion - and his family were granted asylum just in time for the holidays - years after their first attempt.

Hans Niemann, the teenage prodigy, stunned the world by defeating Magnus Carlsen, the country's top player, bringing an end to the 31-year-old Norwegian's streak of unbeaten games. Such was the shock, with accusations of skulduggery immediately swirling against Niemann, particularly because the youngster has confessed to cheating in the past. For one, American grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura predicted that Carlsen suspected Niemann 'actually is cheating.' But how exactly could he have done so?
