About this Quote

This quote by Vladimir Kramnik is a reminder of the dangers connected with fighting for equality. In 1995, Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand defended equality in the chess world by challenging Garry Kasparov, the reigning world champ, to a match. Despite his best efforts, Anand wound up losing video game 10 without putting up any kind of fight. This quote serves as a pointer that even when defending a worthy cause, there is no warranty of success. It is a pointer that even when we defend what is right, we might not always win. It is a tip that we should not be discouraged by failure, but rather use it as a learning experience and continue to fight for what our company believe in. This quote is a reminder that even when we fight for equality, we might not always win, however that should not stop us from continuing to defend what is right.
