Press Trust of India New Delhi
Chess legend Garry Kasparov today shared his personal experiences with the business community at RIE 2016 organised by Entrepreneurs's Organisation.

Kasparov shared his life experiences with top business magnets across the globe on how life imitates chess.

His session was titled 'Checkmate: Reading an Opponent's Mind and how life imitates chess'.

The former World Chess Champion, writer, and political activist was in the national capital to motivate and inspire around 600 top entrepreneurs from all across the globe at the Regional Integration Event RIE - ZindaDilli 2016, organised by Delhi chapter of Entrepreneurs Organisation (EO).

Kasparov beat Anatoly Karpov, in 1985, to become the world's youngest chess champion and remained World No 1 for the next 20 years.
 

He played IBM's Deep Blue - a super-computer that could analyse 200 million positions per second - and tied 1-1. And when he asked IBM for a tie-breaker game, they refused and dismantled Deep Blue.

He has once played a match that lasted six months and almost drove his opponent to a nervous breakdown. But Kasparov is not only a grandmaster: he's a political dissenter who's risked arrest and exile to challenge Russian President Vladimir Putin.
