The New Yorker has a vastly entertaining article about the little-known political master of the Republic of Kalmykia. Little-known, that is, except for his role as President of FIDE, the International Chess Federation. It's a tale which could very well be made into the next Broadway musical. It even has space aliens in it.
As the Italians say, "Se non e vero, e molto bene trovato." Even if it ain't true, it's a great story. Enjoy.
