More quotes by Garry Kasparov
I've met enough KGB colonels in my life.
Garry Kasparov
My opponent is Short and the match will be short.
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
There can be no finer example of the inspiring powers of competition to shatter the status quo than Hungary's Judit Polgar.
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.

The most hopeful approach to peace in Ukraine is the Minsk Agreement, which includes Moscow.
Garry Kasparov
The handover of power to [Dmitry] Medvedev was rather painless, everybody thought that the waves would calm automatically. By now, it's quite clear that [Vladimir] Putin doesn't want to relinquish the levers of power.

The Kremlin is constantly changing the rules of the game to suit its purposes. We are not playing chess, we're playing roulette.
Garry Kasparov
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.

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 dropped the King's Indian in 1997 after one too many bad experiences against Kramnik.
Garry Kasparov
We have to always look ahead enough moves to be well prepared, even for victory!
Garry Kasparov
Furthermore, a large portion of the assets of leading Russian figures is mixed, meaning that it is not quite clear how to counter this development.
Garry Kasparov
I like to say that the attacker always has the advantage.
Garry Kasparov
[Vladimir] Putin is more of a poker player. In poker, unlike chess, you can effectively compensate for a very weak hand by bluffing. There are fixed rules in chess, and no one knows how the game will end. Things are currently the other way around in Putin's realm. But it won't stay that way forever.
Garry Kasparov
We have to stop the propaganda, the shameful propaganda used by Kremlin to rehabilitate these old types.
Garry Kasparov
I learned that fighting on the chess board could also have an impact on the political climate in the country.
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 have no idea how long Putin will last. The good news is, Putin doesn't know either. It will be sudden and it won't be peaceful. He has burned his bridges.
Garry Kasparov
Alexei Navalny, the opposition politician who has led anti-corruption protests, had a blog about a credit line to a company owned by Vladimir Putin's son-in-law, $1.75 billion from Russian state funds this is one transaction. Putin controls more money directly and indirectly than any individual in human history.
