Kasparov: How to play the Queen's Gambit
Wherever he appears, chess fans gather in
crowds. Garry Kasparov is the strongest chess player of our time – and a great
personality who can represent the sport like no other chess professional. Now
Kasparov comes into your home and shares with you his knowledge of one of the
great openings in chess. Garry Kasparov took to the Queen’s Gambit at a
relatively late stage of his chess career, but then had the best training anyone
could imagine: in his first match for the world championship against Anatoly
Karpov, this opening appeared on the board no less than 19 times. Now he shares
his knowledge with you. With great eloquence Kasparov speaks about variations
and ideas of the Classical Queen’s Gambit, the basics of which were laid by the
champions of their times – Steinitz, Lasker, Rubinstein, Capablanca and Alekhine.
Kasparov does not just work through the
variations one by one – fl uent transitions make the chess students understand
the ideas and see new connections. Even people who don’t actually play this
opening will benefit enormously from Kasparov’s explanations, learning from this
genius’s vast knowledge of the game and his views on chess history. More than
three hours of first-class private tuition. The DVD can be played both on a PC
and a DVD player, using your living-room TV set. It contains subtitles in
English, German, Spanish and Italian. The package includes the latest ChessBase
9.0 Reader, a big reference database featuring more than 100,000 Queen’s Gambit
games, as well as a complete
opening book that can be used to practice what you have learnt with Fritz.
