Customer Reviews of Garry Kasparov Teaches Chess 1: Opening Strategies, The Queen's Gambit (DVD)
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.
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 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......
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!
