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.

It's true that in chess as in politics, fund-raising and glad-handing matter.
Garry Kasparov
Image
In my opinion, this vicious circle will be broken by history itself. Because sticking to the current form of governance, which is to say guaranteeing the survival of [Vladimir] Putin's regime, will necessarily lead to the demise of Russia within its present borders.

Chess is not dominoes
Garry Kasparov
Image
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
Image
By the time a player becomes a Grandmaster, almost all of his training time is dedicated to work on this first phase. The opening is the only phase that holds out the potential for true creativity and doing something entirely new.
Garry Kasparov
Image
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
Image
The worst enemy of the strategist is the clock. Time trouble... Reduces us all to pure reflex and reaction, tactical play. Emotion and instinct cloud our strategic vision when there is no time for proper evaluation.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Do as little as necessary to appear to be doing something without actually committing to a cause or course of action.
Garry Kasparov
Image
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.

Donald Trump is a catalyst. People care now in a way they didn't. The American institutions were rusting now they are being revitalised. Trump is a lightning rod. They are getting engaged and the American liberal media that spent too much time on PC issues can focus on Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

A brilliant strategy is, certainly, a matter of intelligence, but intelligence without audaciousness is not enough.

Image
At the end of the day, it's all about money.
Garry Kasparov
Image
We have to stop the propaganda, the shameful propaganda used by Kremlin to rehabilitate these old types.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Throughout my chess career I sought out new challenges, looking for things no one had done before.
Garry Kasparov
Image
We must be optimistic about the future because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If we are creative and ambitious, intelligent machines will liberate us and be as profound a boon to our prosperity as electricity. If we are fearful, and fail to press ahead, we could be overwhelmed by automation and inequality.

You know, if I'm in a bad mood, I always look at the chessboard, just to find something that can cheer me up.

Inevitably the machines must win, but there is still a long way to go before a human on his or her best day is unable to defeat the best computer.

At a certain point, the atmosphere in the West could change. But I don't see determined political will [for that] at the moment.

The highest Art of the Chess player lies in not allowing your Opponent to show you what he can do.

Chess is far too complex to be definitively solved with any technology we can conceive of today. However, our looked-down-upon cousin, checkers, or draughts, suffered this fate quite recently thanks to the work of Jonathan Schaeffer at the University of Alberta and his unbeatable program Chinook.
