    If I remember right, even Kasparov was less than kind. He might have turned around in his later years.

    You say that in past tense as if he’s dead or something, but Russia put him on its list of “terrorists and extremists” only a few days ago. I dunno if he’s still bigoted against women chess players, but as an anti-Putin activist he can’t be all bad.
