Chess is not dominoes
Garry Kasparov
Moscow is simply unwilling to recognize the right of self-determination of nations.
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

Many so-called pragmatists want nothing to do with space exploration or other kinds of ambitious endeavours that don't have a clear payoff.

Garry Kasparov
The only game [Vladimir] Putin can play is to establish a lifelong dictatorship in the country, at first de facto and finally also de jure. In this case, [Dmitri] Medvedev is an interim figure bound to assist Putin in his plan to guarantee a smooth transition to a new term in office.
Garry Kasparov

Garry Kasparov
Putin can't afford to leave the office because he will be in real danger of being prosecuted for things he and his people did during their stay in power.
Garry Kasparov
We've been saying Putin is a dictator for years who doesn't care about the law.
Garry Kasparov
Most likely, the system of mutual relations that has evolved in Eastern Europe and Asia corresponds to another level of governance.
Garry Kasparov
Rosneft, for instance, was mainly built upon capital stolen from [jailed oligarch Mikhail] Khodorkovsky's company, but the IPO was successful with many Western corporations investing in it. This means that it is extremely difficult to detect these assets in their pure form.
Garry Kasparov
My opponent is Short and the match will be short.
Garry Kasparov
I like to say that the attacker always has the advantage.
Garry Kasparov
We are living in a world where major states and large geopolitical projects have to prove their competitive edge. It is clear, as well, that with regard to the intensifying American-Chinese confrontation and the inert power of a united Europe, Russia has to make up its mind - because it is losing ground as an independent center of power.
Garry Kasparov
We know that the governments in most of the successor states formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union are replaced through a process of regular elections.
Garry Kasparov
Somehow, AI is playing an important role of breaking up the ice of complacency. We have a comfortable life, we just don't want to take risks. AI is threatening too many comfortable jobs to make people think about taking risks again.
