FORMER chess champion turned Russian opposition leader Garry Kasparov has won a big-money charity television quiz in neighbouring Georgia.
Kasparov, right, managed to answer all the questions correctly on the quiz programme Who Wants to Win 20,000, a Georgian equivalent of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? television game show. His entire winnings of 20,000 Georgian lari ($11,265), a large prize in the ex-Soviet republic, will go to fund medical care for local children.
Programme producer Giorgi Khaburdzania described Kasparov as a 'living genius' and said that he expected a huge audience for the show, which is due to be broadcast by Georgia's Rustavi 2 television station next week.
