They played in 2020. Oddly, Carlsen let Kasparov win. He gave Kasparov a way out of a tight situation, and Kasparov took it. But their first match was in 2004 in Reykavik, when Carlsen was just 13 years old. He won the first game, but lost the second. Very interesting. He provided Kasparov with a real challenge. (I just looked this up.)
Because Carlsen is a genius and Kasparov is an old fart .

Yes, that's what I'm thinking, regarding the game in 2020. Kasparov's mind had slowed down due to age, so Carlsen had a slight advantage. I had the impression from watching how their first match played out, that Carlsen has a somewhat unconventional way of playing, too. He sometimes makes completely unexpected moves.

I think this is a very big problem of the current crisis. Russia's ally is now China. And this means that we are going beyond the intra-Christian wars, and enter the era of global cultural changes.
Russians remember and appreciate it. There is a debate within the historical community whether the USSR could have won without the support of the allies in World War II or not. But everyone agrees that it was a very important. But this situation is fundamentally different from Ukraine. The US did not make a coup in the USSR to attack Germany. It was an equal union.
At the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, many Russians thought that attacking the unfortunate Ukraine was a mistake and old Putin went crazy. A year later, Russians see that Putin attacked not the unfortunate Ukraine, but NATO in Ukraine. And they find answers why Putin did it.
And by the way, Russia paid off the rest of its lend-lease debt in 2006.
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9B...BB%D0%B8%D0%B7
_______
An agreement with the USSR on the procedure for paying off lend-lease debts was concluded only in 1972[56]. Under this agreement, the USSR undertook to pay $722 million by 2001, including interest. By July 1973, three payments were made for a total of $48 million, after which payments were stopped due to the introduction by the American side of discriminatory measures in trade with the USSR (Jackson-Vanik Amendment). In June 1990, during the talks between the presidents of the United States and the USSR, the parties returned to the discussion of debt [~ 7]. A new deadline for the final repayment of the debt was set - 2030, and the amount - $ 674 million [~ 8]. After the collapse of the USSR, the question arose sharply - to whom the obligations for the debts of the former USSR (including Lend-Lease debts) were transferred. On December 4, 1991, 8 republics of the USSR, including the RSFSR, signed the "Agreement on Succession in Respect of the External Public Debt and Assets of the USSR", which fixed the share of each republic in the debts (and assets) of the former USSR. At the same time, the Russian share was set at 61.34%. The treaty, however, was signed only by a part of the republics of the former USSR; the Baltic countries, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan did not sign it[57][58]. In 1992-1994, however, the Russian Federation signed bilateral agreements with the successor countries of the USSR on the "zero option", according to which the Russian Federation assumed the service of the entire state debt of the former USSR in exchange for the refusal of other republics from their almost half share in all assets of the USSR (gold and foreign exchange reserves, property abroad, property of the armed forces, etc.) [~ 9]. In this regard, on April 2, 1993, the government of the Russian Federation announced that it would assume responsibility for all the debts of the USSR[59][60]. Technically, the debts of the USSR were divided into debts to governments (Paris Club) and debts to private banks (London Club); the lend-lease debt was a debt to the US government, that is, part of the debt to the Paris Club. Russia fully repaid its debt to the Paris Club on August 21, 2006[61].
The joke about a united Europe in Russia refers primarily to the invasions of Napoleon and Hitler:
People outside of Russia aren't as easy to fool as Russians (of which many know exactly whats going on but are too afraid to do anything about it). Nobody is stupid enough to believe all that Nazi bollox spouting out of Putin's mouth! Putin is the 21st Century's Hitler, that is obvious, Russia is living in the 19th Century still, it is still trying to operate along the lines of 19th Century rules and its losing - despite murdering thousands of civilians and despite losing thousands of its sodiers Russia has got nowhere.........all its done is isolate itself from the rest of the globe, nobody likes Russia, nobody want's anything to do with Russia, its athletes are banned from sporting events, its artists are banned from performing, all its oilgarchs are banned, Russia is a Pariah state and its all that idiot Putin's fault! I'm not sure what goes on in his head but he is SO cut off from reality its hard to believe! If the Russian government is happy to be the next North Korea and wants to live in a bubble that is hell for its people then so be it, I'm not sure the people in Russia are going to be too pleased about it though!

The training system for young chess players is the study of openings with the help of computers. The old chess players did not have such a system and they have no serious chances when meeting with the young ones.
In Russian, but in a few hours you will hear it in English, I am sure.
"An intercepted secret conversation between Russian billionaire Farhad Akhmedov and music producer Iosif Prigozhin about Putin, war, sanctions and bleak prospects for Russia with comments by Dmitry Gordon"
Here is a real opinion for you...
The amount of top people (are they ?) in Russia - flying out of the windows and shot will increase drastically.

Ukrainians make a lot of fake movies and audio records. The modern technologies (deep fake etc.) help to do this quickly and easily.
