    The 13th World Champion aims to "revitalize FIDE with a focus on

    of chess worldwide," Chessvibes.com reported. Among Kasparov's team
    members are the current FIDE General Secretary Ignatius Leong, and
    chess maecenas Rex Sinquefield of St Louis.

    Garry Kasparov announced his candidacy for FIDE President on Monday
    night at a special reception in the ballroom of the Swissôtel Tallinn,
    in Estonia's capital, where the 84th FIDE Congress is currently taking
    place. In front of over a hundred delegates and (FIDE) officials,
    Kasparov proudly presented his team which consists of members from
    the USA, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
