A Great Compliment by Kasparov on Anand
Garry Kasparov and Viswanathan Anand were rivals in the 90s and early 00s, and in those days, during his playing career, Kasparov always seemed stingy with compliments. And when he would offer a compliment, there was generally a "yes, but" attached to it. So it was refreshing to read the following in Kasparov's new book, Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins (p. 124):
I always felt that I had the advantage in calculation over anyone except the Indian star Viswanathan Anand, who was justly famous for his speedy tactical play.
High praise!
