More quotes by Garry Kasparov
If we look to the south, to Iran, which cannot be accused of excess democratic zeal - it goes without saying that the unstable situation does not prepare the ground for a democratic development.
Garry Kasparov
In general there is something puzzling about the fact that the most renowned figures in chess - Morphy, Pillsbury, Capablanca and Fischer - were born in America.
Garry Kasparov
We can't attribute a long history of democratic traditions to Japan, either, but today Japan boasts a fully-fledged democracy in which governments change according to democratic procedures. It's no coincidence that the Taiwanese, Japanese, and South Korean economies are among the most innovative in Asia.
Garry Kasparov
My love of dynamic complications often led me to avoid simplicity when perhaps it was the wisest choice.
Garry Kasparov
I would like to travel to my country again, to a country without a dictatorship, to a post-Putin Russia.
Garry Kasparov
Many so-called pragmatists want nothing to do with space exploration or other kinds of ambitious endeavours that don't have a clear payoff. This mentality is hugely damaging to our success as a civilization. Our desire to understand the universe is kindled by curiosity and wonder, and this has fuelled countless scientific breakthroughs.
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.
Garry Kasparov
Millions like me in Russia want a free press, the rule of law, social justice, and free and fair elections. My new job is to fight for those people and to fight for these fundamental rights.
Garry Kasparov
Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.
Garry Kasparov
In the event that we don't want to lose the Far East and Siberia, we need a united Europe.
Garry Kasparov
Next to the intellectual stimulation of chess, the educational value is of great importance. Chess teaches logic, imagination, self-discipline, and determination.
Garry Kasparov
We've been saying Putin is a dictator for years who doesn't care about the law.
Garry Kasparov
Winning is not a secret that belongs to a very few, winning is something that we can learn by studying ourselves, studying the environment and making ourselves ready for any challenge that is in front of us.
Garry Kasparov
Botvinnik tried to take the mystery out of Chess, always relating it to situations in ordinary life. He used to call chess a typical inexact problem similar to those which people are always having to solve in everyday life.
Garry Kasparov
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
I wouldn't overestimate the importance of my popularity in the country and abroad but at the end of the day it's not as important because I believe that my presence here could make some difference and it could encourage people.
Garry Kasparov
I've met enough KGB colonels in my life.
Garry Kasparov
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
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
I reckon that there won't be an intervention in the near future, because Georgia's military adventure revealed the weakness of the Russian army.
