Garry Kasparov in Delhi!
While you were busy doing your daily chores, Garry Kasparov walked into the Indian capital and delivered an interactive talk to entrepreneurs at the Regional Interaction Event, Zinda Dilli 2016, organised by Entrepreneurs' Organization. Garry discussed a wide range of topics like chess politics, his approach to chess, the future of the game and his invaluable insights to chess and life.
Garry Kasparov in Delhi!
On big screen, football wins. You move to this screen (smart phone) -- I am not sure you enjoy watching tennis or football, but you can watch and play chess.
Grandmaster, World Champion, author of monumental chess books, activist, politician and an ignited mind -- this is how we always knew Garry as. At the Regional Integration Event of Entrepreneurs' Organization that is being held in New Delhi, Garry threw light on various issues surrounding chess and politics that was covered in depth by the general media.
Entrepreneurs' Organization is a global peer to peer network meant exclusively for entrepreneurs. This event, titled Zinda Dilli 2016, was a networking platform for entrepreneurs from around the globe and some six-hundred enterprising minds attended the talk that was delivered by Garry Kasparov on 19th February 2016. The event will run for a couple more days with talks by such doyens as Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, Yoga practitioner Baba Ramdev, film Director Anurag Kashyap, business tycoon Malvinder Singh, former White House intern & controversial figure Monica Lewinsky to name a few.
Garry's interactive talk was titled 'Checkmate: Reading an Opponent’s Mind. How life imitates chess' and he delivered a memorable performance where he talked about various issues, interspersed with anecdotes and typical 'Garry humour'.
Chess and Politics
People often tend to associate politics with chess, with news channels often displaying sub-standard animations of chessboard and pieces during election-time, fittingly associating them with the various (below-par) political candidates. Kasparov promulgated to all and sundry that chess is different from politics because, in our sport, the moves are fixed!
In chess we have fixed moves and unpredictable results. In Putin's Russia, it's exactly the opposite.
Since his retirement, Kasparov has been actively participating in activism and politics, often ripping into men of Putin's stature. Donald Trump, who is 'winning hearts' in USA, has nothing to impress Garry. Trump was at the receiving end of Kasparov's criticism:
Donald Trump is a cotton candy candidate. At first sweet. But no nutrition value & makes you sick at the end!
The future of chess
Garry expressed happiness over the fact that chess is spreading rapidly across the younger generation, with an upward trend being witnessed in scholastic chess. He said he is already seeing a dramatic increase in the role chess is playing in modern society.
However, he warned that world chess does not have a competent leadership machinery at the top that can capitalise on the ever increasing popularity of the game. Garry is known to be outspoken, but he is right because had the leadership been chess-friendly, we would never see a hungry chessplayer who suffers due to the lack of funding.
What can we learn from Garry's remarks?
We often see the state, national and the world body taking all the credits for producing champion players. In a case of Stockholm-Syndrome-like behaviour, we ourselves end up giving credit to these apex bodies for producing champion players.
The reality is, the leadership comes to the fore only after the player becomes a champion. Until that point, it is always the sweat and blood of the players themselves, along with their coaches and well-wishers, that fuels the growth of chess. The controlling bodies should recognise this basic fact and start doling out credits where they are due, not by mere words but by channelising corporate and government funding to these talented chessplayers. The focus should also be on the juniors at the same time. Developing chess at the grassroots level is a sure shot way forward.
Kasparov on Indian chess
'Sky is the limit' -- that is how Kasparov summarised his opinion about chess in India. He admitted that his knowledge about the Indian chess scene is limited to what he reads, but he has noticed that India has a vibrant chess community and things will only get better.
Garry's chess philosophy
Hard Work
It annoys me when people say someone doesn't have talent, he just works hard. Hard work is also a talent!
Kasparov is considered the epitome of hard work in chess. That drive and zing to always stay a step ahead of his competitors is what made him the genius we all know him to be.
Take Risks!
He went on to say how the fear of making mistakes pulls you back. Kasparov firmly believes that one has to take risks and explore.
The way chess is played is often a reflection of society and current cultural trends. I see chess being played with machine knowledge in a risk-reducing way just the way people are conducting education and business.
Intuition and decision-making
Garry believes that the difference lies in a player's decision-making style. The first step towards designing your own decision-making process is to know who you are and create an environment of good decision-making. Insightfully, Garry added that in most cases, important decisions will be made under time pressure.
He derided the modern fad of collecting data of all sorts, only to be confused by it. It is important that we control data and not get swamped by it. In this aspect, her firmly believes in the role played by intuition in chess as well as life.
At one point you have to stop collecting data and start make decisions.
Style
There is nothing wrong if a player is overly defensive, nor in being extremely aggressive. Take cricket for example. Some batsmen attack, come what may; some stay put and defend as if their life is at stake. Sportsmen tend to have their own unique styles. One has to recognise his/her dominant qualities and strive to bring positions (on the board and off it too) that are favourable to one's innate qualities and intuition, which we must trust all the time.
Some people are naturally aggressive. Others defensive. You should use your dominant qualities to create favourable situations.
In other words, be yourself is all that you can do. And while you listen to that song, watch:
