The legendary GM Garry Kasparov, arguably the best chess player of all time,
was born on 13th April 1963 (1963 is divisible by 13). He became the 13th World
Champion in the year 1985 (8+5=13). He won the Soviet Junior Championship in
Tbilisi in 1976, at age 13. The name Garry Kasparov has 13 letters.
Kasparov had the highest ever provisional FIDE rating of 2595 when he
participated- and won- a GM tournament in Banja Luka, Yugoslavia in 1979,
propelling him to rank 15th in the world at that time. From 1984 until his
retirement from regular competitive chess in 2005, Kasparov was ranked world
no. 1 for a record 255 months overall. Kasparov also holds records for the most
consecutive professional tournament victories (15) and Chess Oscars (11).
His constant World Championship battle against Anatoly Karpov - 5 WCC
matches from 1984 to 1990 - is part of the chess folklore! Many term it as ‘fire’ vs
‘ice’ - the energetic, tactical, fighting style of Kasparov versus the calm, solidly
positional style of Karpov. The WCC match of 1984 was abandoned, after 5
months and 48 games, with Karpov leading 5 wins to 3 (with 40 draws). The
match was replayed in the World Chess Championship 1985 when Garry
Kasparov became world champion for the first time. In their 5 WCC matches,
Kasparov had 21 wins, 19 losses and 104 draws in 144 games.
Kasparov’s illustrious chess career is highlighted by two of his matches
against ‘Deep Blue’ IBM supercomputer. The first match was won 4-2 by Kasparov
in 1996. In 1997 Deep Blue won the rematch by 3.5-2.5. It was the first defeat of a
world champion by a computer and the first sign of a human-engine
collaboration in chess.
Many of his fighting games are in the lines of King’s Indian Defense. One of
our first inspirations while studying the ‘King’s Indian’ was Kasparov. It was an
absolute joy to learn and play fighting chess in the lines of King’s Indian and
hence we had named our club King’s Indian Chess Club. On the special occasion
of birthday of such a legend, we dedicate this tournament to him.
