Everyone is concerned about his niche, his name, and wants to adapt the concept to so-called national characteristics. But at the end of the day, it's all the same.
Garry Kasparov
Image
I would not draw definitive conclusions from that. If we look at South and North Korea, it is pretty hard to believe that we're dealing with the same people. Half of the people are forced to live in a concentration camp the other have created one of the most dynamic economies in the world.
Garry Kasparov
Image
It's not enough to be talented. It's not enough to work hard and to study late into the night. You must also become intimately aware of the methods you use to reach your decisions.

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.

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.

It could truly be the case that Vladimir Putin has miscalculated in the long term with his adventure in Syria.

There are fixed rules in chess, and no one knows how the game will end.
Garry Kasparov
Image
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
Image
Many people think they are too refined, or too rational, to entertain a real sense of wonder in themselves or in others. This is preposterous to me, since the natural world is full of endless wonders, both on Earth and especially in space, no matter how you think it was created.
Garry Kasparov
Image
The only way to fail for me is just not to try.
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
Right, left, Greens, Baathists, whatever: it comes down to grabbing and holding power and using ideology - or religion, race - as a justification.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Revenge for a terror attack is ideal for Putin's model. His propaganda machine will be filled with scenes of crash victims if [Vladimir] Putin sees the need for a larger war to stoke his domestic support again as the Russian economy teeters.

Chess is one of the few arts where composition takes place simultaneously with performance
Garry Kasparov
Image
[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.

At a certain point, the atmosphere in the West could change. But I don't see determined political will [for that] at the moment.
Garry Kasparov
Image
We have to always look ahead enough moves to be well prepared, even for victory!

Image
Few things are as psychologically brutal as chess.
Garry Kasparov
Image
We have a saying that a stranger's soul is like a black box. Which is why I would not want to analyze [Vladimir] Putin's psychological motivations.

Results show that just one year of chess tuition will improve a student's learning abilities, concentration, application, sense of logic, self-discipline, respect, behavior and the ability to take responsibility for his/her own actions.
