More quotes by 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 think Russians today have a distorted picture of capitalism, liberal democracy and market economy.
Garry Kasparov
It was an impressive achievement, of course, and a human achievement by the members of the IBM team, but Deep Blue was only intelligent the way your programmable alarm clock is intelligent. Not that losing to a $10 million alarm clock made me feel any better.
Garry Kasparov
In general there is something puzzling about the fact that the most renowned figures in chess - Morphy, Pillsbury, Capablanca and Fischer - were born in America.
Garry Kasparov
Do as little as necessary to appear to be doing something without actually committing to a cause or course of action.
Garry Kasparov
More and more people in my country recognise the dangers of having their governors appointed by Putin and having no influence in parliament because Parliament today is also following instructions from Kremlin and no longer represents its people.
Garry Kasparov
There is no doubt that [Vladimir] Putin is responsible for this crime, whether or not he gave the order to commit the murder [of Boris Nemtsov] himself. Putin created the conditions and atmosphere that have made this kind of thing possible.
Garry Kasparov
Caissa, the goddess of chess, had punished me for my conservative play, for betraying my nature.
Garry Kasparov
A brilliant strategy is, certainly, a matter of intelligence, but intelligence without audaciousness is not enough.
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
If you wish to succeed, you must brave the risk of failure.
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
There's the blazing Russian Caucasus, with an ongoing war all against all, which is not to be neglected.
Garry Kasparov
For me, chess is a language, and if it's not my native tongue, it is one I learned via the immersion method at a young age.
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
There is no democracy in Russia. Dictators do not go away through the vote. Putin relies on riot police, thousands of them, with heavy equipment, fighting Russian youngsters from opposition.
Garry Kasparov
Moscow is simply unwilling to recognize the right of self-determination of nations.
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
I don't make any secret of the fact that I'm closer to the Republicans than to the Democrats. But even under a President Hillary Clinton, US foreign policy toward Moscow would probably be more critical and confrontational. I hope it isn't too late for that.
Garry Kasparov
Right, left, Greens, Baathists, whatever: it comes down to grabbing and holding power and using ideology - or religion, race - as a justification.
