In conclusion, if you want to unravel the multitude of secrets of chess then don't begrudge the time.
Garry Kasparov -
I think we have very steady records of President Putin, who inherited the country with democratic values.
Garry Kasparov
-
The leaders of the free world keep lowering their standards and authoritarians keep taking more territory. Eventually people wake up and ask why Putin murders in the UK or hacks in the US. Why wouldn’t he? You didn’t stop him before.
Garry Kasparov -
More and more people in my country recognise the dangers of having their governors appointed by Putin and having no influence in parliament because Parliament today is also following instructions from Kremlin and no longer represents its people.
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 -
We have to always look ahead enough moves to be well prepared, even for victory!
Garry Kasparov -
In chess, we have styles - like in any other field. There are also fashions in the kinds of systems that people play. So I'm trying to know my opponent as much as possible.
Garry Kasparov -
It didn't take long to recognise the shortcomings of the Soviet regime and to see the values of the free world.
Garry Kasparov
-
Chess was treated by the Soviet authorities as a very important and useful ideological tool to demonstrate the intellectual superiority of the Soviet communist regime over the decadent West.
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 -
Putin is willing to poison bodies in the free world, not only minds. Why would he do this? Why would he call attention to his murderous ways now? Well, I’ll turn that around and ask instead, why wouldn’t he? Dictators don’t ask 'Why,' they ask 'Why not?'
Garry Kasparov -
Bush Administration was a success.
Garry Kasparov -
My response to Bernie Sanders' you know uh stories you know fairytales is that uh the failure of capitalism is still much better than the success of socialism.
Garry Kasparov -
Ukraine had quite serious impact on the many Russians. They could see that ordinary people in Ukraine which is a bordering state, very close to Russia, the people of this state are, they didn't want to tolerate anymore the power abuse by Ukrainian officials.
Garry Kasparov
-
You must also have a sense of when to stop.
Garry Kasparov -
My nature is that I have to excite myself with a big challenge.
Garry Kasparov -
In chess, we say that the player with the initiative is obliged to attack, otherwise the initiative will be lost and the counterattack will likely be decisive.
Garry Kasparov -
With each success the ability to change is reduced. My longtime friend and coach Grandmaster Yuri Dokhoian, aptly compared it to being dipped in bronze. Each victory added another coat.
Garry Kasparov -
The old joke about the two main Soviet papers, Pravda ('Truth') and Izvestia ('News'), was 'There’s no news in the Truth and no truth in the News!'
Garry Kasparov -
Putin should simply be called a dictator.
Garry Kasparov
-
Solving new problems is what keeps us moving forward as individuals and as a society, so don't back down.
Garry Kasparov -
It’s still unfathomable that Russia went from joyously celebrating the end of totalitarianism to electing a KGB lieutenant-colonel in just nine years. Never take your liberty for granted, and be careful whom you vote for because it may be the last election you’ll ever have.
Garry Kasparov -
I organize a chess festival in Hungary. I support chess in schools, and I have my own chess foundation. And I started writing books.
Garry Kasparov -
We think about time as something not to waste, not as something to invest.
