Tickets for Montreal....

I was able to get a special price of $185 per ticket (because of a quantity discount) for the Montreal event.

I have 5 extra tickets, so if you want one, please contact me at bevand@chess-math.org.

First come, first served.

Garry Kasparov

Innovation and Success

In a listing of top chess champions formed in 1988, Casablanca, Karpov and Fischer were named; however above all sat twenty-five year old Russian, Garry Kasparov. A World Champion until his retirement in 2005, Garry went on to open The Kasparov Chess Academy near the campus of Tel Aviv University. Also since retirement, he has devoted his time to politics and writing. In 2007, he entered the Russian Presidential race receiving 379 of 498 votes at a congress held in Moscow. In addition Kasparov has authored several books on chess and is a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine and Forbes.

Something new to do with your time, Larry, now that we've hit Freedom 55. It's good for me. I hope it's good for you!

You called me "Larry" ?

That's OK but only if you will call Larry "JPR" ;)

Re: Kasparov is coming to Canada!

Casablanca est la plus grande ville du Maroc .. plus que 5 millions d'habitants .. Merci pour la correction ..

Je pense que c'est trop dispendieux d'assister à cet évènement .. il n'y a pas de gratuité quelque part ? :D Peut être devant le portail du palais de congrès ..

You may look at Kasparov's online show on September 19. (Probably it'll be in Russian)

Subway Ad of Kasparov coming to Canada!

I was surprised to see Kasparov's name and photo in the subway station. It was part of ad for the Power Within Leadership conference that Larry mentined in this thread (Oct 21, $229). The keynote speaker is Barbara Walters, but Kasparov was next in the list of speakers, and swimmer Michael Phelphs was also added. Often Anthony Robbins headlines these events.

Re: Kasparov is coming to Canada!

Tickets for this are still available at the special price of $185. It is a full day event with headliner Bill Clinton and many other speakers including Garry Kasparov. Contact me if you are interested.

Re: How was Kasparov in Toronto?

Hi Larry,

I see you posting Kasparov coming to Montreal. How was his speech in Toronto? Is it really worth $185?

I was thinking of the event as I was working at the Royal York Hotel, only a block away.

It was worth it to buy a newer Hirarcs/Fritz for my newer computer. At first I just thought it was finding the same moves faster, but it is finding deeper mates and perpetual checks that the old program didn't find.

No Kasparov in Montreal...

I just got back from the full day of speeches by various folks at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal. Kasparov was a no-show and the organizers neither announced that on-site nor did they replace him...they simply had a long pause before Clinton got up to speak. Nonetheless it was an interesting day.
