How I Became World Champion vol. 1

Drøyt 6 timer med Kasparov selv hjem på PC'en, der han forteller om livet og karrieren sin og ikke minst viser mange partier. Denne første delen går fram til 1985.

Som stjernespiller, personlighet og kommunikator i sjakkverdenen er det vel ingen som kan konkurrere med Kasparov.
