24 HOURS WITH GARRY KASPAROV // Episode 3: 1976-1977. Plateau - Will I become a chess player?
Looking back at Garry Kasparov's career one may think that everything always came easy to him. That he never failed. That he never doubted. That he always went from one success to another. This is obviously not the case. The young Garry had his fair share of mistakes and losses, but they did not stop him: they only got him to work even more on chess!
That's precisely the topic of the third episode from the Levitov Chess saga "24 HOURS WITH GARRY KASPAROV".
It covers one of the the most important period in Garry's biography, from 1976 to 1978. From his famous victory at the age of 12 at the U.S.S.R. Youth Championship in Tbilisi, when he managed to truly make himself known not only in Baku, but already at the all-Union level, to the failures and difficulties of 1977, when the great champion could not become a Master of Sports.
" Why did things slow down and why couldn't I show anything for two years?" Kasparov asks himself. "The thing is that everyone has their own limit of perception, the size of your "hard disk". Obviously, at the age of 12, it was still difficult for me to perceive everything... But time has not passed in vain: these were years of great work, they reinforced me, made another chess player out of me!"
Botvinnik was helpful, as he taught the future champion an important lesson: in sports, first place matters, nothing else. Something Kasparov understood once and for all...
