Notes based on Kasparov’s comments from Garry
Kasparov’s Fighting Chess, a book by Garry
Kasparov, Jon Speelman, Bob Wade.

I would like to mention another episode that
has to do with Garry Kasparov's rating record. In 1989,
after the tournament in Belgrade, Garry beat the rating
2800 for the first time in history. This fantastic
achievement remained unbeaten for 20 years. Only
recently was Vladimir Kramnik able to get 2809 and
get close to Kasparov's recent rating. In honor of this
event, I decided to release a new chess pin. I prepared
sketches and brought them to the ”Boss»”, Clara. As
far as I know, the pin I have is the sole example. Right
now, my collection includes a panel with around a
th
hundred pins dedicated to the 13 World Champion.
I have not seen Garry Kasparov for a long
time. Earlier I made attempts to invite him to Minsk.
Now, I would like to invite him to Chicago (Garry
regularly visits U.S.) for a lecture and a simultaneous,
but this is more difficult now - sponsors are
needed…
