    Fidel Castro playing chess
    December 7, 2002, Havana, Cuba: Cuban President Fidel Castro reacts while playing against Lazaro Castro during a chess tournament at the Plaza de la Revolucion in Havana. After decades on the global political chessboard, Cuban President Fidel Castro joined 11,000 other Cubans at the real thing on Saturday, taking part in what Cuban officials billed as the world's largest chess exhibition. In the background, a picture of Che Guevara. Castro was born and raised on his family's sugar plantation. He became a lawyer and devoted himself to helping the poor; he intended to run for a parliamentary seat before Batista overthrew the Cuban government. Castro went to court and challenged Batista with violating the constitution, but when his claim was rejected, he started his own army and went through several attempts to start a revolution before Batista fed the country on New Year's Day 1959. The new government was met initally with popular support, even in the face of numerous US attempts to assassinate Castro and inspire an overthrow. Since then, Castro has made Marxist decisions to nationalize industry, confiscate property not owned by Cubans, and enact policies to benefit peasants and laborers. A large anti-Castro middle class community has since fled to Miami. Castro is the world's longest-serving political leader.. Credit: Sven Creutzmann / Polaris (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
