CROSSWORD #1547: Going Too Far

GOING TOO FAR: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF] 
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]

Variety puzzle for you today. Going Too Far. If you know the form, have at it. If you don't, I have copied the instructions for you here:

Many of the answers in this crossword are too long and won’t fit in the spaces provided. Each of these answers will either begin or end in the gray square immediately before or after it. When the puzzle is done, all the gray squares will have been used exactly once, and the letters in them (reading left to right, line by line) will spell out a quote by Garry Kasparov.

Simple enough. It should be said that this'll be a heckuvalot easier on paper than on screens. But it's your puzzle. It's up to you. Enjoy.

Looking for more puzzles? The Hub Crossword (Sunday puzzles by me and Joon Pahk) and Marching Bands year eight has begun. So if that To Do list needs even more puzzles, you know what to do.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
