In St. Petersburg Russia, over the weekend, and with only a week before the Russian presidential elections, several demonstrators voiced their disapproval of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The protesters were beaten with clubs and around 200 were arrested as Police quelled the mini-uprising . It was the second rally in as many days. Garry Kasparov (the "queen" if you will) was sentenced to five days in jail for his role in the tiny stratagem. Mr Kasparov, sitting in a cell with square, black and white tiles on the floor and walls, could be heard muttering to himself "I've got him right where I want him... knight to queen 4, rook to king 5... pawn takes QUEEN!". President Putin urged Kasparov to abandon his efforts to usurp power or he would see to it that Deep Blue* be sent in to "keek heez upstarrrt ass-inski!!".*Deep Blue was the name of the computer that mercilessly defeated Kasparov -which, at the time, was thought to be impossible - well mainly just Kasparov thought that and a handful of chess-obsessed neo-Luddites.
