Garry Kasparov
Garry Kasparov’s talent was recognised early, but it was at the age
of 15, when he qualified for the renowned USSR national championship, that
he was also considered by the chess world as a whole as a possible future
champion. But on the way to the throne of world champion Kasparov had to
overcome numerous obstacles. He felt that he was being held back by the
Karpov-friendly Soviet federation and by FIDE. He finally broke through
and at the age of 22 became the youngest ever world champion. He also conducted
his struggle at the board above all and enriched chess with his incredibly
dynamic playing style as well as his scientific preparation for games.
Kasparov was far ahead of his time in his employment of the new electronic
aids: computers and database programs such as ChessBase. His numerous encounters
with the pragmatic Karpov saw the collision of two quite different playing
styles, styles in which these two players were far and away the best in
the world. In addition to these matches, Kasparov also contested many tournaments
and always appeared with the same mind-set: win games and tournaments!
On this DVD a team of experts gets to the bottom of Kasparov’s play.
In close to nine hours of video running time (both in English and German)
the authors Dorian Rogozenko, Mihail Marin, Oliver Reeh and Karsten Müller
cast light on four important aspects of Kasparov’s play: the opening,
strategy, tactics and the endgame. As a bonus there is video analysis of
Kasparov’s computer games (Karsten Müller). In the major database
with training questions (162 games with 575 training questions) you can
hone your own tactical understanding with the help of Kasparov’s strokes
of genius.
