Garry Kasparov at Your Next Move
"Think fast. Think under pressure. Think strategically. That’s how
you win in business... and in chess. Our chess tournaments were certainly one
of the most prestigious business events of 2007 and 2008." That is the
motto of Your Next Move.
On October 13th 2009 Your Next Move organized a chess event in Antwerp, Belgium,
for business executives, politicians and children. It was held for the third
time, and for the third time it centered aound Garry Kasparov, former World
Chess Champion (1985-2000). Kasparov played a simultaneous exhibition against
26 opponents – business executives nominated by the different companies
partnering with and sponsoring the exclusive business event. But not just them.
The organisers invited chess clubs and primary school to take part in a pre-tournament
held in various locations on October 4th. In the weekend prior to the chess
event a further selection is made during a simultaneous game against English
GM Nigel Short. The winners got seats in the simultaneous exhibition of Garry
Kasparov, along with the business personalities.
The event was filmed by EXQI TV in Belgium
– in extraordinary quality. It was recently posted on YouTube. The following
videos show highlights from the event. The videos feature comments by Nigel
Short. Special attention is payed to the game of Chris Lanckriet (BNP Paribas
Fortis IS Development Officer) who survived for 48 moves against Kasparov before
resigning. Each of the following three segments are ten minutes long. If you
do not have the time or patience to watch thirty minutes of video then there
is a link at the bottom of the page to a number of smaller sequences.
Note that the videos are in High Definition. There is a small "full screen"
button at the bottom right of the YouTube player, which plays the video in the
maximum resolution of your monitor. Lucky you if you have a 24 inch HD screen
– 1920 x 1080 pixels of resolution.
"Ultimately, what separates a winner from a loser at the grandmaster level
is the willingness to do the unthinkable. A brilliant strategy is, certainly,
a matter of intelligence, but intelligence without audaciousness is not enough.
Given the opportunity, I must have the guts to explode the game, to upend my
opponent's thinking and, in so doing, unnerve him. So it is in business: One
does not succeed by sticking to convention. When your opponent can easily anticipate
every move you make, your strategy deteriorates and becomes commoditized. "
– Garry Kasparov, FastCompany.com, September 2004.
