Cheers Except in case of Kasparov, His real last name is Kasparian (from his Armenian mother) but later he changed it to Russian sounding Kasparov. He may be holding Russian citizenship but he is Jewish/Armenian decent. Too bad though. He has two great heritages in his blood to be proud of. He should have kept his father’s or mother’s last name, without the “ov” Murat :.
