More quotes by Garry Kasparov
Few things are as psychologically brutal as chess.
Garry Kasparov
From Ukraine to Syria, he [Vladimir Putin] is behaving like the world's new general and celebrating victories, while the American president sits on the sidelines and Europe sleeps. The West's behavior toward Putin is political and moral capitulation.
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
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
All that now seems to stand between Nigel and the prospect of the world crown is the unfortunate fact that fate brought him into this world only two years after Kasparov.
Garry Kasparov
With this mistake I deprived myself of the possibility to make a contribution to the treasury of chess art.
Garry Kasparov
If you wish to succeed, you must brave the risk of failure.
Garry Kasparov
I’ve seen - both in myself and my competitors - how satisfaction can lead to a lack of vigilance, then to mistakes and missed opportunities.
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
Russian Parliament today is a bunch of puppets that just fall in with the instructions from Kremlin.
Garry Kasparov
Kortchnoi's heritage is many-faceted - over the decades he has several times corrected and changed his style. But the main thing has invariably remained his search for chess truth.
Garry Kasparov
If we look to the south, to Iran, which cannot be accused of excess democratic zeal - it goes without saying that the unstable situation does not prepare the ground for a democratic development.
Garry Kasparov
Nervous energy is the ammunition we take into any mental battle. If you don't have enough of it, your concentration will fade. If you have a surplus, the results will explode.
Garry Kasparov
The situation in the [North Caucasus ] region can easily get out of control if the capital inflow is interrupted. It is apparent, even when leaving democratic institutions and values aside for a moment, that [Vladimir] Putin's regime has led the country down a blind alley. Our task is to usher in a shift of paradigms, a new foundation.
Garry Kasparov
The real political life in Russia unfortunately is not in the parliament but on the streets and in the media.
Garry Kasparov
My opponent is Short and the match will be short.
Garry Kasparov
Losing can persuade you to change what doesn't need to be changed, and winning can convince you everything is fine even if you are on the brink of disaster.
Garry Kasparov
A grandmaster must memorize thousands of chess duels in his head, as these are for him what words of the mother tongue are to the ordinary people and what notes are to a musician.
Garry Kasparov
I don't have enough information, and enough courage, to come up with a definite version of events. And I think it is too dangerous for me to do so.
Garry Kasparov
I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.
