Kasparov has seen a few years ago what Putin and Trump really are

Under this title Zoran Bakovic Compare chess play with political life. With such thinking, the now former world champion began Gari Kasparov. In the article, Bakovic criticizes a zero sum system that leads to a disaster. This opposite is the ancient orientation of « I am you and you are me » (ind. Upanishe Tat Twam ASI). There is also a movie Thief wam aceswhich shows how culture with deep traditional roots deals with a terrorist act committed by Muslim extremists, when they killed 202 victims on the island in 2002. The Indian orientation is formulated in the pedagogical doctrine of Bluestein as « I’m OK, you’re fine. »

In chess, this is no longer a game on my victory and your defeat, but it is a play on Pat position or draw by sharing a point ½: ½. International chess competitions are organized and run by the International NGO Chess Federation (FIDE). In 1999, the International Olympic Committee recognized it as a global sports organization. Today, Fide is based in Lausanna. The organization was originally established in 1924 in Paris under the motto « Gens Un Sumus », which in Slovenian translation means « we are one genus ». With this motto, the World Organization has emphasized the unique and cohesive role of chess played by more than ten million people worldwide.

As an example of an open, wide -minded thinker, I would like to highlight Garija Kasparov, born in 1963 as Garish Kimovich Weinstein. At the request of his mother, he accepted her surname Kasparov at the age of 12. He attended the Shah School at the former World Champion Mihail Botvinikwho has already seen the similarity of chess and life the same as Kasparov. As a chess world champion in 1985-2000, Kasparov complemented a chess career with a political strategist’s career. Kasparov himself later coached some of the grandmasters who exceeded his teacher.

Kasparov explains to us how to use chess tools to become more successful in business and life. He notes that innovation and perseverance are required to succeed in overcoming obstacles. To succeed in a chess game, we need certain strategies – plans and tactics to answer the challenges that arise on the chessboard by changing the position of white and black figures in the game of two opponents.

Chess expresses what the teammates think and as they decide on certain moves. The development of chess play is similar to development in science through models of thinking and art by play styles. The styles are offensive (Bobby Fischer, Mikhail Talj) and defense (Tigran Petrosjan). The most beautiful parties in the tournaments are also awarded. In professional chess, without studying the development of the game of big ancestors so far, new position and combinatorial discoveries cannot be invented. In the book How life imitates chess (2012) described Kasparov how the examples of great ancestors and current teammates led him to the world chess champion. It compares the decision -making mechanism in a chess game with one that takes place in the business world. Kasparov was most often played with Anatoly Karpov, from which he took the title of World Champion in 1985-2000.

The political opponent of Kasparov became chairman Vladimir Turkey. While Kasparov also represents Democratic Russia in the US, where he escaped from Russia in 2013, Putin leads an autocratic policy. Kasparov is a dissident and terrorist for the existing authority, and if he remained in Russia, he would be closed and probably executed similarly to the ordinary. Kasparov also rated Trump before his first presidential term as an autocrat.

In 2015, Kasparov published a book entitled Winter comes: why should it be stopped Vladimir Putin and the enemies of the free world. In it, she replies to prevent a nuclear war in this way. He also mentions the need for a new World Organization, consisting solely of democratic countries that would replace the UN, since in his opinion it becomes a « pista for dictators ».

Given the style of « America, the first » Trump is, after his experimentation with customs and other fast -paced measures, is reminiscent of the stormy Bobby Fischer, who was the World Chess Champion in 1972-75 and unsuccessfully claimed his special rules in the chess world.

Our pre -war chess grandmaster Milan Vidmarwhich was after the then ranking 4. The most powerful player in the world, once said that most players play on the principles of timber, which means changing a farmer for a farmer, figures for a figure. And if chess is just a fight for a favorable change and politics is nothing but a fight for markets, only dead souls remain. How else does it sound like we are all brothers (Pope Francis) or that we are one genus (fide).
