Wherever he goes, crowds follow - and for good reason. Garry Kasparov is arguably not only the strongest chess player of our time, but also the most electrifying ambassador the game has ever seen. In this exclusive masterclass, he reveals the deep strategies behind one of chess’s greatest openings: the Queen’s Gambit. Though he adopted the opening later in his career, Kasparov received the ultimate crash course - facing Anatoly Karpov in their legendary World Championship match, where the Queen’s Gambit appeared a remarkable 19 times. Kasparov guides you through this rich opening with unmatched clarity and insight. You won’t just memorize variations - you’ll understand the ideas behind them, the historical evolution, and the thinking of champions like Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, and Alekhine. Whether you play the Queen’s Gambit or not, this is more than opening theory - it’s over three hours of elitelevel chess instruction, storytelling, and inspiration from one of the greatest minds the game has ever known.
