As Botvinnik wrote in the Soviet "64 Chess review" magaziine of a certain person, that person was "a small-minded, petty man though a great chess player" ("chelovek melkiy, a shakhmatist bol'shoi"} . As for political activities, they say that modern politicians irrespective of their persuasions are liars by definition pursueing their own often excessive ambitions. Not that it all mattered much here.

"I did more than I could have done in the world of chess."

It's that giving 110% football managers are so beloved of again!

I like Kasparov more when he is talking about chess than when he is talking about politics.

It's beyond me why anybody would want to invite him to talk about leadership.

very nice video, Kasparov is surely one of alltime best

A wonderful video. Anytime an ordinary mortal, like me, gets an opportunity to listen to an extraordinarily creative artist (of anything), it should be treasured. Kasparov is easily the most creative chess player of modern times. His games with Karpov (in the WCs) were of the highest quality, and it is indeed wonderful to have him annotate those games for us.

Hey !
Great interview !
Garry Kasparov is as always "alive and kicking" !

@Indian

Other chess plans?

I don't have any other chess plans. So it's that... this book, this series keeps me busy... in writing and makes me feel happy... it's enough of chess activities.

Never feel the urge to return to the board?

No, I think I did more than I could have done in the world of chess and it's time for others to continue.

Great video

Kasparov still secretly yearns to return to competitive chess. He may actually do so when he fully realises his political ambitions are a joke.

That's a bit harsh. Don't you think he's doing some good by bringing attention to the shortcomings of the Putin regime? (Surely 'shortcomings' is to light a word.)
