It's no coincidence that the Taiwanese, Japanese, and South Korean economies are among the most innovative in Asia.
Garry Kasparov
Image
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.

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
Image
Of course, if people do not want to do any work then it is better to start the game from a random position.
Garry Kasparov
Image
I believe more than ever, machines will put new challenges, and that means we'll have to be more creative and more human, because that's the way to make the difference.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Attackers may sometimes regret bad moves, but it is much worse to forever regret an opportunity you allowed to pass you by.
