Renowned chess legend Garry Kasparov downplayed his recent social media post about Indian politician Rahul Gandhi's chess skills, calling it a "little joke." Kasparov's comment came after his post on Gandhi's chess interest went viral. The former world champion emphasized it was not meant as political advocacy or expertise. Rahul Gandhi, a Congress MP, recently shared a video of himself playing chess, citing Kasparov as his favorite player. The incident sparked online discussion about the intersection of chess and politics. Kasparov retired in 2005 but remains an influential figure in the chess world.
