I'm speaking for Kasparov.
Kasparov achieved greatness in an era when preparation was far more demanding. He didn’t have access to engines, databases, or instant online practice like today’s grandmasters. All he had was a chessboard, a few books, and relentless dedication.
Today, we can play a dozen games online, lose, analyze with an engine, and improve rapidly. Kasparov, on the other hand, had to travel, pay entry fees, play over-the-board, and learn the hard way—through real-world experience and human analysis. There was no safety net of Stockfish waiting to explain your blunders.
His dominance, innovation, and longevity came from sheer human brilliance, not digital support. That’s what makes his legacy truly unmatched.
