Garry Kasparov on chess vs. democracy advocacy
Quote
“Life after chess was a difficult transition because, when you play the game, you have a very simple way to measure success or failure. You win or lose. The fight for democratic and human rights in Russia is different. There is no objective measurement. It’s not about winning or losing. It’s just do what you must do, and so be it. I had to make this adjustment in myself. It is a noble and worthwhile fight.”
— Garry Kasparov
