No indication of notability. Clearly the inventor is highly notable, but that does not mean everything he has done is as well. No source is given to show the notability of this form of the chess game. SyG (talk) 18:59, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Although Kasparov introduced "Advanced chess", I cannot see evidence that he invented "Freestyle chess". Without independent coverage of the variant, notability is unlikely. Sjakkalle (Check!) 20:50, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to [[Garry Kasparov]. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:45, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Are there any sources that confirm or indicate Kasparov's involvement with "Freestyle chess"? If not, a merge would be highly misleading. Sjakkalle (Check!) 05:11, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
