GM Garry Kasparov has teamed up with Chessable to update a timeless classic. In addition to written context, chess players can now enjoy My Great Predecessors Part 4 in video, presented by the legendary Kasparov himself, along with brand new analysis and trainable positions! In Part 4, Kasparov dissects key games from GM Bobby Fischer's career, giving students a key insight into the mind and thought process of one of the most talented players the world has ever seen.

Cool ig.

Kind of a catch 22 though - the winner of this arena will not likely be in any need for a training course, I think the prize should go to the highest placed player without a title (and is rated above 1200, so no sandbaggers can steal a prize)

Cool, but couldn’t make it sadly

Dang, 2 hours is insane to be sitting at your computer playing chess for a slim chance of getting a book
