Congratulations to Gary Kasparov (formerly Weinstein),
the new World Chess Champion!

However, in line with official Soviet policy aimed at
suppressing Jewish culture, Kasparov should be warned
that the KGB has been busy working out opening surprises
for Karpov to use against him in the return match. We
have come across the following secret analysis which
is designed for Karpov to use when he has the white
pieces.

Opening: KGB Gambit

1). P-K4,            P-K4
2). B-B4,            N-QB3
3). Q-R5,            Q-K2
4). QxQ check!       QxQ
5). Q=Q check!!!     K-Q1
6). QxB mate.

It turns out that the Black Queen has been turned
into a double agent, and will defect to Karpov at
move five! Watch out, Gary!

(With apologies to Miles Kington :-)
