Deep thinking
What should I ask Garry Kasparov? (2017-04-13)

Garry’s forthcoming book Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins is just superb, and the podcast will be released around the time of book publication in early May.

*Deep Thinking* (2017-03-03)

The author is Gary Kasparov and the subtitle is Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins .  I am honored to have had the chance to write a blurb for this book.  It is everything I wanted from this author and title, and it also contains the inside scoop — with some truly interesting and deep revelations — about the match with Deep Blue.

Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov
What I’ve been reading (2011-12-24)

1. Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov, Part 1: 1973-1985 , by Garry Kasparov.  Self-recommending!  His chess books are full of history, drama, and suspense, in addition to the chess, he is simply a great mind.

The blueprint
How can I not pre-order this book? (2011-08-29)

The Blueprint: Reviving Innovation, Rediscovering Risk, and Rescuing the Free Market , by Garry Kasparov, Max Levchin, and Peter Thiel.

How Life Imitates Chess
What I’ve Been Reading (2007-11-13)

3. How Life Imitates Chess: Making the Right Moves, from the Board to the Boardroom , by Garry Kasparov.  This is a fun book, except that life mostly doesn’t imitate chess.  Chess is characteristic for its lack of self-deception; it is hard to avoid knowing where you stand in the hierarchy and excuses are few and far between.  That’s why most chess players are depressed.  Kasparov seems to save his self-deception for politics; let’s hope he is still alive a year from now.
