Garry Kasparov
I've met enough KGB colonels in my life.
Garry Kasparov
Inevitably the machines must win, but there is still a long way to go before a human on his or her best day is unable to defeat the best computer.
Garry Kasparov

Garry Kasparov
Energy is connected to physical fitness. One of the reasons I stayed at the top so long is that I was tremendously fit. At 36, I was fitter than most opponents ten years younger.
Garry Kasparov
