       | My best wishes for his full recovery. About 30 years ago I used
       | to buy Chess books and study games. I really liked his style,
       | usually a slow tightening of advantages on the board, with some
       | attacking games also. His play inspired me to be patient in
       | Chess, appreciate getting a small advantage and working with
       | that.

       | Updates make this super weird. First he is injured, then in the
       | update he's in stable condition and not injured, which makes it
       | sound like it was a medical emergency like a heart attack, and
       | then in the second update he fell and suffered head trauma, which
       | is an injury. Add all this in to the fact that he's a member of
       | the Duma and high profile Russians under Putin suffer accidents
       | or "suicide" at a higher then expected rate and I doubt we'll
       | ever be sure what happened.

         | Anybody who wouldn't be enthusiastically pro-Putin wouldn't
         | have ended up in Duma in the last 10 years.

         | luck, life, fortune and misery of every single person in
         | Russia.
