"Could be better... but nice work" 2008-10-15
By Norberto Martel Gutierrez (Honduras)
I believe that this is the first Kasparov's DVD, is far beyon from najdorf DVD.
In this DVD has a Earn Value, DAtabase, Cristal Frizt and more, Kasparov was very Historical with the lines, I expected Kasparov lab's, well old lines played in the 90's or 80's... Maybe i prayed for much, but is what the says the box, and the profile product.
I am a fan, of Kasparov games and style, i see the DVD, just for see Kasparov, and enjoy the video, Kasparov speaks well, nice explication but honestly i expect for more.
I give 3 start because one is for the historical approach of Kasparov speak, and the another for a false profile of the product, gives the idea that Kasparov's LAB are given in the DVD, because of that i was mad with the product. I try to be honest i love the DVD, just for Kasparov.
Beginer who love Kasparov games, they will love this product, enjoy it.
I try to be honest.
"Slow " 2007-07-26
By Terry Banker (Denver and Atlanta)
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.
"What it is and What it ain't" 2006-10-05
By Mark Wendland (Cartersville, Georgia United States)
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 games.
It isn't:
1) For players looking for a repertoire.
2) For beginners (which it might appear to be by the advertising)
3) "Instructional" in the common meaning of the term.
4) Clear enough for me on the DVD player.
I really enjoyed the product because I didn't have any real expectations as to exactly what it would be like. I recommend getting Matthew Sadler's book on the Queen's Gambit Declined as well and then sitting down for some serious study! Garry doesn't really talk over your head, he simply covers a lot of ground in 3 hours and this can be overwhelming if you try to take in too much of it at one time.
"Not bad for a Grandmaster......" 2005-08-06
By I. V. Miller (MI)
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. I just wish that Amazon would come thru with #2, that's been on order since January!
"Good, but a bit disorganized." 2005-06-01
By M. Mazza (Elizabeth, NJ USA)
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, and while this is occasionally unavoidable when discussing variations, it can become tedious. It's not a matter of his English, either--he expresses himself well. Overall, I couldn't help but get the impression that this was filmed haphazardly--that is, he probably just sat down and began discussing the opening any which way. What was needed was the careful selection of themes within the framework of the lecture; the DVD could have been divided into crucial minilessons that retained focus instead of random observations with loose-fitting titles. If the aim was to teach, then the approach needs modification. I'm a decent player with club and some tournament experience. I followed him as best as I could, but I can see a beginner being easily overwhelmed and quickly losing interest. As a fan, it's a pleasure to watch him discuss the game; as a life-long student of chess, I expect more.
