Q. What happens when you cross a comedian with a chess player?

A. You get Zeus.



Well, i dont know if Kasparov can win at russian politics or is a winner in life but i do know that he always won at chess. All mere chess players want in our lifetimes is to come up with a Kasparov-esque brilliancy and we will die happy. Colbert speaks of Kasparov like he is just another chess Grandmaster. Respect Mr Comedian. Respect! GK can play many flawless games of chess requiring deep visualisation, immense knowledge of strategy and unmeasured years of training; and Colbert had a mechanical boxing game? I thought it was ironic that that portion seemed overly desperate to try to get GK to lose. Better come out of the shadow of Jon Stewart first Colbert, before you tackle the man who defended humanity with his brain. =) HAHA. Colbert seemed stunned that GK was witty for a 'boring' chess player. I do wonder though if some of the jokes were scripted.
