The highest Art of the Chess player lies in not allowing your Opponent to show you what he can do.

This is the essential element that cannot be measured by any analysis or device, and I believe it's at the heart of success in all things: the power of intuition and the ability to harness and use it like a master.

I see my own style as being a symbiosis of the styles of Alekhine, Tal and Fischer.

My life is split in three parts; I don't know the percentage. One could be called "chess" - the Kasparov Chess Foundation, promoting the game, training young players, playing on the internet, sometimes exhibitions. The second area would be "writing" - books, articles, Twitter, Facebook. And then "political activity" - fighting for human rights and democracy, so TV, interviews, speeches.

It could truly be the case that Vladimir Putin has miscalculated in the long term with his adventure in Syria.

The West can't come up with anything to deal with Moscow, except appeasement.

Solving new problems is what keeps us moving forward as individuals and as a society, so don't back down.
