So in conclusion thank you Garry for everything you’ve done for chess, not only in general (for the community) but also for US, the kids who you’ve mentored & will continue to mentor for as long as you like. Garry Kasparov - Great Chess Combinations. Kasparov-style design uses size to reflect the true value of the pieces in play Each Kasparov set comes with a large booklet providing clear, detailed. Rather, it’s CURVED - just as our phones don’t let us post links so too in this desensitized technological age the way out of our distress isn’t a silly fast dash out of the garden it’s on the contrary actually a convulated maze, and I think that Garry wanted us to see that.

And I think that progress, whether it be in our royal game of chess or in our loyal game of life, isn’t linear.

Once upon a time (a time which includes the present to say it badly) Garry held these “Kasparov Chess” seminars at some fancy-schmancy midtown offices (he also held a Simul when I was REALLY little at the old Puck Building down in SoHo but that’s for another day ) where we’d have to present him 4 of our games & he’d analyze them in front of the group who were sitting around like knights of the round table. I’m writing from my phone so I won’t be able to post a link (just my personal biased opinion) therefore let me take the opportunity to “redeem” Garry the 13th World Chess Champion & paint him in a positive light (not that I maliciously made him look bad before but I guess I didn’t really elaborate on MY personal relationship with him long ago):
