The beauty and aesthetic value of chess, the deep moves and the tactical blows all those forced me to love this immortal game. GM Garry Kasparov: 'It was the beauty and brilliance of tactical blows that captivated me in early childhood.' 'Chess for me is art.' It is fairly clear from that barrage just how important the aesthetic side of chess has been in the development of Kasparov the player.
