More quotes by Garry Kasparov
Russia's inclination toward authoritarianism undoubtedly strengthened the leaders in Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Kazakhstan, as they are afraid of normal democratic procedures.
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
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
I would like to travel to my country again, to a country without a dictatorship, to a post-Putin Russia.
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
In my opinion, using different kinds of epithets and adjectives in connection with the word democracy is a sign of mere hypocrisy, to put it mildly. Either there's democracy, or there isn't.
Garry Kasparov
At the northern border of Azerbaijan, Daghestan by no means contributes to the democratization of the Caucasus.
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
The loss of my childhood was the price for becoming the youngest world champion in history. When you have to fight every day from a young age, your soul can be contaminated. I lost my childhood. I never really had it. Today I have to be careful not to become cruel, because I became a soldier too early.
Garry Kasparov
Right, left, Greens, Baathists, whatever: it comes down to grabbing and holding power and using ideology - or religion, race - as a justification.
Garry Kasparov
All women are inferior to men.
Garry Kasparov
You know, if I'm in a bad mood, I always look at the chessboard, just to find something that can cheer me up.
Garry Kasparov
A grandmaster needs to retain thousands of games in his head, for games are to him what the words of their mother tongue are to ordinary people, or notes or scores to musicians.
Garry Kasparov
If you're already in a fight, you want the first blow to be the last and you had better be the one to throw it.
Garry Kasparov
I like to say that the attacker always has the advantage.
Garry Kasparov
One does not succeed by sticking to convention.
Garry Kasparov
We can't attribute a long history of democratic traditions to Japan, either, but today Japan boasts a fully-fledged democracy in which governments change according to democratic procedures. It's no coincidence that the Taiwanese, Japanese, and South Korean economies are among the most innovative in Asia.
Garry Kasparov
A brilliant strategy is, certainly, a matter of intelligence, but intelligence without audaciousness is not enough.
Garry Kasparov
Next to the intellectual stimulation of chess, the educational value is of great importance. Chess teaches logic, imagination, self-discipline, and determination.
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.
