Garry Kasparov: 'A game designed for me'
Acknowledged by many as the greatest chess player of all time, Garry Kasparov
has been marching to his own algorithm his whole life. Born in Baku in 1963,
Kasparov has taken on the greatest champions and won. And since retiring
from the game, he has been involved in a political battle with one of the
most powerful and controversial men alive – Vladimir Putin, the president
of Russia.
Sir David Frost travels to Abu Dhabi to join Kasparov on his mission to
promote chess in the Gulf. Kasparov shares his secrets of the game, discusses
milestones in his life and expands on why chess should be compulsory in
school curriculum. He even offers a few tips to some of the young chess
players.
Kasparov impressed his parents at a very young age, when he finished a
chess game they were struggling to solve. "I knew it was a game designed
for me," he tells Sir David. After losing his father when he was only
seven, Kasparov's mother dedicated her life to nurturing her son's talent.
In 1990, Kasparov and his family, who are of Armenian descent, were caught
up in the vicious pogroms against Armenians in Azerbaijan, forcing thousands
of ethnic Armenians to flee. And that is when Kasparov escaped to Moscow.
"The psychological trauma was awful – this thought is still painful"
he says.
Following his move to Moscow, Kasparov engaged against a new partner –
IBM's super computer, Deep Blue, which created huge interest worldwide.
But most recently, having retired from the game of chess, Kasparov has embarked
on a new mission – to bring democracy and justice to Russia and to
see Putin ousted from power. He tells Sir David of his treatment at the
hands of Russian police, of being arrested and his time in a Russian prison,
and why he was keen to stand up for the members of the rebel pop group Pussy
Riot, who were jailed after an anti-Putin video.
Kasparov finishes his conversation with Sir David by telling him why he
is now too old to play competitive chess and the show ends with an extraordinary
twist on Garry Kasparov's future – he will no longer be returning
to Russia.
