Vladimir Putin has this animalistic instinct of all dictators: He smells weakness. To quote Winston Churchill's definition of appeasement: An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

More quotes by Garry Kasparov
I try to play, always, beautiful games...always I wanted to create masterpieces.
Garry Kasparov
My love of dynamic complications often led me to avoid simplicity when perhaps it was the wisest choice.
Garry Kasparov
I'm not in favour of a regulation-free world. I align myself with Teddy Roosevelt, who broke up the trusts. Regulation is necessary, but it should be in favour of the consumer, the citizen, and freedom.
Garry Kasparov
We've been saying Putin is a dictator for years who doesn't care about the law.
Garry Kasparov
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
[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
Rosneft, for instance, was mainly built upon capital stolen from [jailed oligarch Mikhail] Khodorkovsky's company, but the IPO was successful with many Western corporations investing in it. This means that it is extremely difficult to detect these assets in their pure form.
Garry Kasparov
The ability to work hard for days on end without losing focus is a talent. The ability to keep absorbing new information after many hours of study is a talent.
Garry Kasparov
It could truly be the case that Vladimir Putin has miscalculated in the long term with his adventure in Syria.
Garry Kasparov
At the end of the day, it's all about money.
Garry Kasparov
The only successor to President Putin is President Putin himself and we could of course dream about President Putin stepping down voluntarily and picking out successor which would be probably as bad as him.
Garry Kasparov
Chess strength in general and chess strength in a specific match are by no means one and the same thing.
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
Attackers may sometimes regret bad moves, but it is much worse to forever regret an opportunity you allowed to pass you by.
Garry Kasparov
The regime is in trouble economically and can no longer offer anything to its citizens. That's why [Vladimir] Putin has to pursue an aggressive foreign policy, so he can serve his people the fairy tale of Russian pride and regaining its strength as a major power.
Garry Kasparov
It was an impressive achievement, of course, and a human achievement by the members of the IBM team, but Deep Blue was only intelligent the way your programmable alarm clock is intelligent. Not that losing to a $10 million alarm clock made me feel any better.
Garry Kasparov
Sometimes the hardest thing to do in a pressure situation is to allow the tension to persist. The temptation is to make a decision, any decision, even if it is an inferior choice.
Garry Kasparov
Most likely, the system of mutual relations that has evolved in Eastern Europe and Asia corresponds to another level of governance.
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
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.
