Best part of his era was no engines. They just didn't know if they were playing the best moves or not.

[@potatowithginger]

True masters of tempo

[@thegorn]

Not true. Kasparov prolonged his career by being one of the first adopters of computer training. Not just using computers to analyse lines, but by keeping a private database of all his opponents games so he could print them up before matches and study them, looking for weaknesses. He had a big advantage over his opponents as he had that before his opponents did as he had more financial resources and connections in the tech world through his colab with IBM

[@alikhaled2389]

I feel like they added the rule for pawns moving 2 squares at the starting position just to make it faster, but they didnt want to change the late game dynamics of pawn structure battles , so to counteract the 2 space move the opponent is able to treat a pawn that had moved 2 squares as if it had moved only one.
