▪️ Garry Kasparov
▪️ Russian chess grandmaster
▪️ Former world chess champion
🔰 Garry Kimovich Kasparov is a Russian chess grandmaster, former world chess champion, writer, and political activist, whom many consider to be the greatest chess player of all time.
🔘Full name: Garry Kimovich Kasparov
🔘Countr:y Soviet Union
Russia (since 1992) Croatia (since 2014)
🔘Born: 13 April 1963 (age 55)
Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, Soviet Union
(now Baku, Azerbaijan)
🔘Title: Grandmaster (1980)
🔘World Champion: 1985–1993 (undisputed)

🔘Peak rating: 2851 (July 1999, January 2000)
🔘Peak ranking: No. 1 (January 1984)
🔰Kasparov played in a total of eight Chess Olympiads. He represented the Soviet Union four times and Russia four times, following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. In his 1980 Olympiad debut, he became, at age 17, the youngest player to represent the Soviet Union or Russia at that level, a record which was broken by Vladimir Kramnik in 1992. In 82 games, he has scored (+50−3=29), for 78.7% and won a total of 19 medals, including team gold medals all eight times he competed. For the 1994 Moscow Olympiad, he had a significant organizational role, in helping to put together the event on short notice, after Thessaloniki canceled its offer to host, a few weeks before the scheduled dates.
🔰 Kasparov made his international teams debut for the USSR at age 16 in the 1980 European Team Championship and played for Russia in the 1992 edition of that championship. He won a total of five medals.
