Garry Kasparov – The Strongest Player in History
Garry Kasparov is widely regarded as the most dominant player in chess history. From becoming the youngest World Champion in 1985 to his record-breaking rating of 2851, his dynamic style revolutionized the game.
Kasparov in Brief
Kasparov held the world number-one ranking for 255 months—nearly three times as long as his closest rival, Anatoly Karpov. He is famous for his deep opening preparation, energetic attacking style, and his battles against both Karpov and the computer Deep Blue.
Key Study Theme: Pay attention to how Kasparov uses dynamics and initiative to overwhelm opponents, often sacrificing material for long-term pressure.
