Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Slow
I bought this game with the intenion of learning some new chess attack techniques but found the tactics too common--not in the specific set of moves, but in how Kasparov executes the moves on the software.
Overall, 2 stars.
Rating:  - What it is and What it ain't
It is:
1) A highly informative survey of many classical QGD lines and historic games.
2) A very short overview of non-QGD openings.
3) Garry talking casually and 80 mph about the above.
4) A big database.
5) Crystal clear on Fritz.
6) For those who are interested in chess history & getting "the big picture" on an important opening.
7) Nice to hear how to pronounce all those foreign names.
8) Loosely structured around main variations and famous ... Read More
Rating: - Not bad for a Grandmaster......
As one of Mr. Kasparov's first such ventures, this was one heck of a product. It's best used in a computer v.s a DVD player. I agree with a previous review that the language is a bit tough, but I could appreciate the natural conversation. The games are excellent, but I wished that he had gone into more detail about the decision for some moves. Overall, it's a worth the purchase. I actually obtained this version from the manufacturer, before it was available on Amazon, so the Amazon price is much better. ... Read More
Rating: - Good, but a bit disorganized.
I enjoyed watching Kasparov discuss the Queen's Gambit with such brilliance, and I agree with other reviewers who say that he comes across as down-to-earh. There is no question about his passion for the game, and any chess player will enjoy the commentary of this legendary grandmaster. I give it four stars because a better production was actually possible. In fact, with a bit of focus and organization, this DVD could have been a valuable instructional tool. The problem is that Kasparov goes on many tangents, ... Read More
Rating: - This is like GOD SPEAKING ABOUT MIRACLES
Garry Kasparov comes across so well in this video. He's charismatic and down to earth --and able to communicate and teach in a universal and accessible way. It's like having him in your living room when you start the dvd. I bet even people who don't know a thing about chess would find this fantastic just because it's him. The other really cool thing in this DVD is that the chessboard illustrates what he says with highlighted squares and arrows. Any one who "experiences" his private tutoring will be able ... Read More
