More quotes by 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
Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.
Garry Kasparov
There is no doubt that [Vladimir] Putin is responsible for this crime, whether or not he gave the order to commit the murder [of Boris Nemtsov] himself. Putin created the conditions and atmosphere that have made this kind of thing possible.
Garry Kasparov
My love of dynamic complications often led me to avoid simplicity when perhaps it was the wisest choice.
Garry Kasparov
Capablanca possessed an amazing ability to quickly see into a position and intuitively grasp its main features. His style, one of the purest, most crystal-clear in the entire history of chess, astonishes one with his logic.
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
Ultimately, what separates a Winner from a Loser at the Grandmaster level is the Willingness to do the Unthinkable.
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
Putin can't afford to leave the office because he will be in real danger of being prosecuted for things he and his people did during their stay in power.
Garry Kasparov
Energy is connected to physical fitness. One of the reasons I stayed at the top so long is that I was tremendously fit. At 36, I was fitter than most opponents ten years younger.
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
I learned that fighting on the chess board could also have an impact on the political climate in the country.
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
Nowadays, a 13-year-old would probably know more than Bobby Fischer knew when he retired. They analyse all the moves and prepare themselves on their computers. But that doesn’t mean they are special.
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
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
It was not about losing my mental power it's about not feeling good about my contribution to the game.
Garry Kasparov
I don't think that nature envisaged an insurmountable mechanism that would hinder any country from taking the path of democratic development.
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
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.
