The World’s Greatest Chess Player

Garry Kasparov has been the highest-rated chess player in the world and is widely considered the greatest chess player that ever lived.

He is the founder and inspiration behind the Kasparov Chess Foundation whose mission is to introduce chess into the educational system worldwide. He is a regular contributor to the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal and remains the highest rated payer in the history of chess and the only icon in the game of over 100 million players. In 2005 Garry announced his retirement from competitive chess after 21 years as the #1 ranked player in the world.

“Chess is mental torture”

In detail
Garry became the world junior champion at the age of 16, and in 1985, became the youngest ever World Champion at age 22. He was the undefeated world champion for 15 years, defending his title more than any other world champion in modern times. He has played several high-profile matches against supercomputer chess programs.

His battles with IBM’s “Deep Blue” were worldwide headline news and he has been at the forefront of innovation in chess for over twenty years. He has been at the cutting edge of research and the battles between humans and computers from as far back as 1990.

What he offers you

As a master of strategy, he applies the insights and unique perspective from his extraordinary chess career to the issues of leadership, strategy and success in business. Known as an extremely intuitive chess player, he also emphasizes intuition’s role in achieving your full potential as an individual and achieving superior performance as the leader of an organization.

How he presents

His global reach is fed by a steady stream of keynote speaking engagements predominantly in Europe and the United States. His speech topics vary from country to country but he is never far from what he knows best – strategy and logical thinking. He takes his listeners into the world of calculus, deep thought, the analytical mind and what constitutes intelligence without reducing the answer to plain black and white.
