So I was having dinner with Gary Kasporov and there was a check tablecloth. It took him two hours to pass me the salt. He said "You remind me of a pepper-pot", I said "I'll take that as a condiment".

Ho ho

He's a chess grand master notorious (in chess circles) for taking ages to move and for insulting his opponents.

Garry Kasparov was born in Baku, the capital of the Russian republic Azerbaidzhan. His early success at the chessboard earned him an invitation to study under the tutelage of Botvinnik, the World Champion in 1948-1957, 1958-1960, and 1961-1963 and at the time considered to be the USSR's greatest player (Karpov was another of Botvinnik's pupils).

At age 13 he began entering international competitions, sharing third place in his first match outside the USSR - the 3rd World Cup for Cadets held in Wattignes, France. It marked the first time that someone as young as 13 had represented the Soviet Union in an international sporting competition held in the West.
