Kasparov spotted alone

A fan spotted Garry Kasparov walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of September 15, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Garry back on the market?

A rep for Garry Kasparov was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the chess grandmaster was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (September 16), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Garry’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Kasparov spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
