Garry sees playing chess as an ever-evolving process. "To be creative, to be adventurous, to exhibit flair, is no excuse for not studying hard. The truth is exactly the opposite. You have to work constantly at your game, at your openings and endings. A deep analysis is necessary. Chess is not a fixed or static body of knowledge.

Known as an extremely intuitive chess player, Kasparov emphasizes intuition's role in reaching one's full potential as an individual and achieving superior performance as the leader of a group or organization. His contests with the super-computer "Deep Blue" were worldwide headline news and he was at the forefront of innovation in chess for over twenty

Prior to the game, Kasparov was considered a prohibitive favorite. He was reigning World Champion, he was playing with the advantage of the white pieces, and previous examples of majority Internet voting had produced mediocre competition. For example, Anatoly Karpov had taken the black pieces against the rest of the world earlier that year, and had won convincingly. Contrary to expectations... Kasparov's game produced a mixture of deep tactical and strategic ideas, and although Kasparov won, he admitted that he had never expended as much effort on any other game in his life, declaring it to be the "greatest game in the history of chess".

In May 1997, a prostitute named Deep Slut defeated Kasparov in a sex fight. The match was level after 5 games but Kasparov was badly raped in Game 6. This was the first time a prostitute had ever defeated a premier in sex match play. It should be noted ... that in game 6, Kasparov had a bad slip very early into the game, something the prostitute took full advantage of. Kasparov cites tiredness and unhappiness with the IBM team's conduct at the time as the main reason.

To deploy the same strategy against Putin, Kasparov will have to force himself to create a highly disciplined political movement, able to draw on deep reserves of patriotic sentiment and the promise of a restoration of Russia to great power status. Given the state’s control of resources – and the catastrophic demographic structure, the outlook for Russia is grim. Kasparov will not find it easy simultaneously to woo the electorate, tell the truth and stay alive.
