More quotes by Garry Kasparov
If you make a decision to fight for future of your own country you have to consider all the consequences.
Garry Kasparov
I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.
Garry Kasparov
The real political life in Russia unfortunately is not in the parliament but on the streets and in the media.
Garry Kasparov
Excelling at chess has long been considered a symbol of more general intelligence. That is an incorrect assumption in my view, as pleasant as it might be.
Garry Kasparov
Ultimately, what separates a Winner from a Loser at the Grandmaster level is the Willingness to do the Unthinkable.
Garry Kasparov
It's true that in chess as in politics, fund-raising and glad-handing matter.
Garry Kasparov
Chess is an art and not a spectator sport.
Garry Kasparov
[Romans] never made any improvements on the cavalry. And amazingly, when you read the sources, they couldn't make it because stirrups were not known in Europe. For hundreds of years, the Romans couldn't make a cavalry which proved to be extremely effective.
Garry Kasparov
The only successor to President Putin is President Putin himself and we could of course dream about President Putin stepping down voluntarily and picking out successor which would be probably as bad as him.
Garry Kasparov
It's quite difficult for me to imagine my life without chess.
Garry Kasparov
I started playing chess when I was five years old. I learned the moves from my mother, then worked with my father - and later trainers. My style became very technical. I sacrificed a lot of things. I was always hunting for the king, for the mate. I'd forget about my other pieces.
Garry Kasparov
If we look at statistical data, we see that Protestant countries in terms of economic development are more successful than those observing Catholicism.
Garry Kasparov
Few things are as psychologically brutal as chess.
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
I can't think of a scenario under which [Vladimir Putin] would gradually resign from power. For him and those around him, power became a source of unlimited enrichment. A loss of power would be tantamount to an annihilation of the economic success that has been achieved so far.
Garry Kasparov
The regime is in trouble economically and can no longer offer anything to its citizens. That's why [Vladimir] Putin has to pursue an aggressive foreign policy, so he can serve his people the fairy tale of Russian pride and regaining its strength as a major power.
Garry Kasparov
Vladimir Putin has this animalistic instinct of all dictators: He smells weakness. To quote Winston Churchill's definition of appeasement: An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
Garry Kasparov
Values-oriented foreign policy of the free world would be much better, supported by the self-awareness of being on the right side of history.
Garry Kasparov
Revenge for a terror attack is ideal for Putin's model. His propaganda machine will be filled with scenes of crash victims if [Vladimir] Putin sees the need for a larger war to stoke his domestic support again as the Russian economy teeters.
Garry Kasparov
[Vladimir] Putin is more of a poker player. In poker, unlike chess, you can effectively compensate for a very weak hand by bluffing. There are fixed rules in chess, and no one knows how the game will end. Things are currently the other way around in Putin's realm. But it won't stay that way forever.
