One does not succeed by sticking to convention. When your opponent can easily anticipate every move you make, your strategy deteriorates and becomes commoditized.
Garry Kasparov

All women are inferior to men.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Ratings are king and the money keeps flowing, and partisanship is so strong today that people rely on a few sources absolutely instead of thinking critically. So even being a cheerleader for a gameshow-host president with no respect for the rule of law or America's reputation in the world may not be a career-ending move.

I think Russian people are learning that democracy is not an alien thing it's not a western invention.

Intelligent machines will continue that mechanization process, taking over the more menial aspects of cognition and elevating our mental lives towards creativity, curiosity, beauty, and joy. These are what truly makes us human.

Chess strength in general and chess strength in a specific match are by no means one and the same thing.

Next to the intellectual stimulation of chess, the educational value is of great importance. Chess teaches logic, imagination, self-discipline, and determination.

There are fixed rules in chess, and no one knows how the game will end.

We are living in a new ice age, and we need to apply the recipes of the Cold War to the Kremlin. That means isolation instead of offers of negotiation. And Ukraine should have been supplied with weapons long ago.

I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.

Excelling at chess has long been considered a symbol of more general intelligence. That is an incorrect assumption in my view, as pleasant as it might be.

I think Russians today have a distorted picture of capitalism, liberal democracy and market economy.

Values-oriented foreign policy of the free world would be much better, supported by the self-awareness of being on the right side of history.

Image
I don't make any secret of the fact that I'm closer to the Republicans than to the Democrats. But even under a President Hillary Clinton, US foreign policy toward Moscow would probably be more critical and confrontational. I hope it isn't too late for that.

At the end of the day, it's all about money.

My opponent is Short and the match will be short.

There are many ways of showing your protest and discontent without the actions of Kremlin.

I like to say that the attacker always has the advantage.

Right, left, Greens, Baathists, whatever: it comes down to grabbing and holding power and using ideology - or religion, race - as a justification.

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.
