More quotes by Garry Kasparov

The situation in the [North Caucasus ] region can easily get out of control if the capital inflow is interrupted. It is apparent, even when leaving democratic institutions and values aside for a moment, that [Vladimir] Putin's regime has led the country down a blind alley. Our task is to usher in a shift of paradigms, a new foundation.
Garry Kasparov
The public must come to see that chess is a violent sport. Chess is mental torture.
Garry Kasparov
