Authors@Google: Garry Kasparov

Garry Kasparov was the highest-rated chess player in the world for over twenty years and is widely considered the greatest chess player that ever lived. On Thursday, 10th March, 2005 Kasparov announced his retirement from competitive chess. He remains the highest-rated player in the history of the game and the only true icon in a sport with over 100 million players. He was the first player to break through the "four minute mile" of chess, a rating over 2800. He remains the only player who topped the 2850 mark. His 2851 ELO rating is still an all-time record.

Today this master of strategy applies the insights and unique perspective from his extraordinary chess career to the issues of leadership, logical thinking, strategic thinking, and success on the speakers' circuit and to Russian politics.

Known as an extremely intuitive chess player, Kasparov emphasizes intuition's role in reaching one's full potential as an individual and achieving superior performance as the leader of a group or organization. His contests with the super-computer "Deep Blue" were worldwide headline news and he was at the forefront of innovation in chess for over twenty years. He was at the cutting-edge of research and the battles between humans and computers as far back as 1989.

This announcer, or arbiter if you will, is a fucking douchebag.

In a glass of water there are roughly 3*10^25 atoms, and in the ocean roughly 5*10^46 molecules. These are real, observable numbers, like the number of atoms in the universe (about 10^76 atoms). The number of chess games is not real, it is *theoretical. This is why you can't comprehend it, because you don't realize one number is real (# of atoms in universe) while the other number is imaginary (# of chess games).

Imagine being told that your name does not matter and that you will only be identified by who you are related to.

practically i think you are correct. but in theory i can see it, but it's actually misleading. for example lets say you reach an end game of king vs king, of course we would call that a draw since there is no way to end the game. and that is where all those "legal moves" comes in. if we decide not to call it a draw we can make legal moves literally for an eternity. so while it may be theoretically true, practically it's not.

It would be a shame if you did not bulk up when these other normal people do it easily using Mega Muscle Method (search for it on google).
