Thank you, Hikaru, for bringing us this great interview with the man many consider to be history's best chess player (I'm a Fischer guy myself, but I can respect the Kasparov argument). Garry is a link to past greats, as he played against such legends as Tal, Smyslov, Petrosian, and Botvinnik.

Great to see that Kasparovs view of chess' evolution in the past years is so progressive, that he understands that progression is both good and necessary for the game

[@asrulsulaiman6011]

Do x2 speed, you'll see Hikaru head-banging to Kasparov's rapping.

Kasparov is so well spoken, this man is more articulate in his second language than most people are in their primary language. This man’s genius truly transcends the game of chess, I encourage anyone interested to look into his personal and political life. Gary chess deserves to have his voice heard

[@mentaljedi]

I really like that final point, that no one style has dominated over a consistent time. Just shows the push and pull between aggressive tactical and suffocating strategical play

[@akasmokey9908]

This is an awesome interview! Dating myself, I’ve been a fan of Garry since the 80s! Some people criticize Hikaru for been an aggressive competitor. Garry is one of the most aggressive competitors ever, in any sporting genre! On the level of Michael Jordan!

Kasparov was the first big time chess player I ever heard of as a kid ...and it was because he lost (deep blue ) and since going on to learn some more about him and other chess greats he still remains probably my favourite chess player of all time ...Although lil ole MC is a close second but I have a huge respect for Kasparov as a chess player and as a person it's great to see him still using his abilities to give even more chess access to people that maybe grew up hearing his name but maybe not always knowing exactly who he was ...Yes he's older and doesn't play competitively anymore but that vast wealth of knowledge and information is a great thing to pass on to people of all levels ...Its one thing to read or hear his games/stories second hand but to learn from such a genius first hand would be a truly memorable experience
