Garry Kasparov Art Quotations

I want to serve chess through games, books that are works of art. I would like to bring the game closer to many people all over the world.

You cannot say, 'Go! Go! Rah! Rah! Good move!' People want some emotion. Chess is an art and not a spectator sport.

The technical phase can be boring because there is little opportunity for creavivity, for art. Boredom leads to complacency and mistakes.

With this mistake I deprived myself of the possibility to make a contribution to the treasury of chess art.

A game of chess holds many secrets. Fortunately! That is why we cannot clearly state whether chess is science, art, or a sport.

Chess is an art and not a spectator sport.

Chess is one of the few arts where composition takes place simultaneously with performance

Chess is a unique cognitive nexus, a place where art and science come together in the human mind and are then refined and improved by experience.

...comparing the capacity of computers to the capacity of the human brain, I've often wondered, where does our success come from? The answer is synthesis, the ability to combine creativity and calculation, art and science, into whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts.

Setbacks and losses are both inevitable and essential if you're going to improve and become a good, even great, competitor. The art is in avoiding catastrophic losses in the key battles.

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