Garry Kasparov
"I try to play, always, beautiful games... always
I wanted to create masterpieces."
World Champion 1985-Present
Born: 1963, Baku
Kasparov
is a player who tries to create beauty in all his games. He can calculate
very deeply and finds wonderful opening
novelties. Kasparov is especially
well known for the types of sacrifices
he makes. Often he will give up a pawn or sacrifice material
just so that his pieces have more mobility.
At age 22 Kasparov was the youngest person ever to become World Champion.
