More quotes by Garry Kasparov

When your house is on fire, you cant be bothered with the neighbors. Or, as we say in Chess, if your King is under attack you don't worry about losing a Pawn on the Queen's side
Garry Kasparov
A brilliant strategy is, certainly, a matter of intelligence, but intelligence without audaciousness is not enough.
Garry Kasparov
I dropped the King's Indian in 1997 after one too many bad experiences against Kramnik.
Garry Kasparov
I reckon that there won't be an intervention in the near future, because Georgia's military adventure revealed the weakness of the Russian army.
Garry Kasparov
We have a saying that a stranger's soul is like a black box. Which is why I would not want to analyze [Vladimir] Putin's psychological motivations.
Garry Kasparov
Attackers may sometimes regret bad moves, but it is much worse to forever regret an opportunity you allowed to pass you by.
Garry Kasparov
With this mistake I deprived myself of the possibility to make a contribution to the treasury of chess art.
Garry Kasparov
I try to play, always, beautiful games...always I wanted to create masterpieces.
