More quotes by Garry Kasparov
We've been saying Putin is a dictator for years who doesn't care about the law.
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
Nowadays, a 13-year-old would probably know more than Bobby Fischer knew when he retired. They analyse all the moves and prepare themselves on their computers. But that doesn’t mean they are special.
Garry Kasparov
Few things are as psychologically brutal as chess.
Garry Kasparov
I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.
Garry Kasparov
At the end of the day, it's all about money.
Garry Kasparov
The situation in the [North Caucasus ] region can easily get out of control if the capital inflow is interrupted. It is apparent, even when leaving democratic institutions and values aside for a moment, that [Vladimir] Putin's regime has led the country down a blind alley. Our task is to usher in a shift of paradigms, a new foundation.
Garry Kasparov
At a certain point, the atmosphere in the West could change. But I don't see determined political will [for that] at the moment.
Garry Kasparov
It was not about losing my mental power it's about not feeling good about my contribution to the game.
Garry Kasparov
You're always going to have dangerous, disaffected people in any society, and some will be violent. Increasing prosperity and reducing inequality won't solve that completely. But having big, positive dreams and a society that makes it possible to achieve those dreams is what we must strive for.
Garry Kasparov
If you wish to succeed, you must brave the risk of failure.
Garry Kasparov
Caissa, the goddess of chess, had punished me for my conservative play, for betraying my nature.
Garry Kasparov
To my surprise I found that when other top players in the precomputer age (before 1995, roughly) wrote about games in magazines and newspaper columns, they often made more mistakes in their annotations than the players had made at the board.
Garry Kasparov
Moscow is simply unwilling to recognize the right of self-determination of nations.
Garry Kasparov
The handover of power to [Dmitry] Medvedev was rather painless, everybody thought that the waves would calm automatically. By now, it's quite clear that [Vladimir] Putin doesn't want to relinquish the levers of power.
Garry Kasparov
I have some security that could protect me against provocations but of course there are more terrible actions that could not be stopped by any security.
Garry Kasparov
Vladimir Putin likes Donald Trump because he supports this view of the world, that the big guys can carve it up, sit and talk about the world, carve up the countries, shape borders. For Putin, treaties, alliances, Nato, the EU are stumbling blocks.
Garry Kasparov
In the event that we don't want to lose the Far East and Siberia, we need a united Europe.
Garry Kasparov
Vladimir Putin mainly has friends in Europe among the extreme right, such as Marine Le Pen's Front National in France.
Garry Kasparov
Sometimes the hardest thing to do in a pressure situation is to allow the tension to persist. The temptation is to make a decision, any decision, even if it is an inferior choice.
