More quotes by 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
Losing can persuade you to change what doesn't need to be changed, and winning can convince you everything is fine even if you are on the brink of disaster.
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
For inspiration I look to those great players who consistently found original ways to shock their opponents. None did this better than the eighth world champion, Mikhail Tal. The Magician of Riga rose to become champion in 1960 at age twenty-three and became famous for his aggressive, volatile play.
Garry Kasparov
The real political life in Russia unfortunately is not in the parliament but on the streets and in the media.
Garry Kasparov
By this measure (on the gap between Fischer & his contemporaries), I consider him the greatest world champion
Garry Kasparov
The biggest problem I see among people who want to excel in chess – and in business and in life in general – is not trusting their instincts enough.
Garry Kasparov
Even well-known historians like Edward Gibbon are talking about how the soldiers of the 18th century were not able to do the same type of exercise [like Romans].
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.
Garry Kasparov
Few things are as psychologically brutal as chess.
Garry Kasparov
When your house is on fire, you cant be bothered with the neighbors. Or, as we say in Chess, if your King is under attack you don't worry about losing a Pawn on the Queen's side
Garry Kasparov
I started playing chess when I was five years old. I learned the moves from my mother, then worked with my father - and later trainers. My style became very technical. I sacrificed a lot of things. I was always hunting for the king, for the mate. I'd forget about my other pieces.
Garry Kasparov
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
You know, if I'm in a bad mood, I always look at the chessboard, just to find something that can cheer me up.
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
Next to the intellectual stimulation of chess, the educational value is of great importance. Chess teaches logic, imagination, self-discipline, and determination.
Garry Kasparov
Ironically, the main task of chess software companies today is to find ways to make the program weaker, not stronger, and to provide enough options that any user can pick from different levels and the machine will try to make enough mistakes to give him a chance.
Garry Kasparov
Throughout my chess career I sought out new challenges, looking for things no one had done before.
Garry Kasparov
I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.
Garry Kasparov
Somehow, AI is playing an important role of breaking up the ice of complacency. We have a comfortable life, we just don't want to take risks. AI is threatening too many comfortable jobs to make people think about taking risks again.
