I was born on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall.

When I visited Ronald Reagan's ranch center in Santa Barbara, California in 2016,

had a big piece of the wall Reagan helped tear down on display.

I joked that I didn't recognize it because I had only seen the other side.

Back in 1987, I was speaking at an

event in West Germany, and I told people that I was sure that the collapse from the Berlin

wall was inevitable and would happen very soon. They looked at me like, okay, that's crazy,

but he's young, 24, and he's just a chess player. What does he know? And they

stopped listening. This was before Ronald Reagan's famous tear-down-this-wall speech in Berlin,

which was around a month later. Another famous forwards from the US president also concerned

Berlin. President Harry Truman said, we stay in Berlin to promise that U.S. forces

would protect and supply West Berlin during Stalin siege of the city in 1948, the famous Berlin

airlift. Not to put myself in the company of U.S. presidents, but I was inspired by Reagan and Truman in my own Berlin speech at the Aspen Institute on October 14, 2015.

I titled it, four words to change history.

I said, we must remember that societies do not have values.
