More quotes by Garry Kasparov
I would like to travel to my country again, to a country without a dictatorship, to a post-Putin Russia.
Garry Kasparov
To my surprise I found that when other top players in the precomputer age (before 1995, roughly) wrote about games in magazines and newspaper columns, they often made more mistakes in their annotations than the players had made at the board.
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
A brilliant strategy is, certainly, a matter of intelligence, but intelligence without audaciousness is not enough.
Garry Kasparov
The worst enemy of the strategist is the clock. Time trouble... Reduces us all to pure reflex and reaction, tactical play. Emotion and instinct cloud our strategic vision when there is no time for proper evaluation.
Garry Kasparov
I have no idea how long Putin will last. The good news is, Putin doesn't know either. It will be sudden and it won't be peaceful. He has burned his bridges.
Garry Kasparov
Moscow is simply unwilling to recognize the right of self-determination of nations.
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
We know that the governments in most of the successor states formed after the collapse of the Soviet Union are replaced through a process of regular elections.
Garry Kasparov
Few things are as psychologically brutal as chess.
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.
Garry Kasparov
A grandmaster needs to retain thousands of games in his head, for games are to him what the words of their mother tongue are to ordinary people, or notes or scores to musicians.
Garry Kasparov
Caissa, the goddess of chess, had punished me for my conservative play, for betraying my nature.
Garry Kasparov
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
In chess the rules are fixed and the outcome is unpredictable, whereas in Putin's Russia the rules are unpredictable and the outcome is fixed.
Garry Kasparov
The loss of my childhood was the price for becoming the youngest world champion in history. When you have to fight every day from a young age, your soul can be contaminated. I lost my childhood. I never really had it. Today I have to be careful not to become cruel, because I became a soldier too early.
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
We've been saying Putin is a dictator for years who doesn't care about the law.
Garry Kasparov
At the end of the day, it's all about money.
Garry Kasparov
I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.
