Kasparov chess ad

I'm sure you all know that Kasparov started online courses, but have you seen the ad? It's pretty interesting.

Love the clocks 🙂

The abject fear in the faces of the students when he demonstrates the king+pawn zugzwang at the end. He reams off a 10 move sequence and says "and white wins yes" and you can see that not one of them quite gets that, but they are too terrified to say anything 😵

I think I would be a bit intimidated being taught by argueably the best chess player (human) of all time. I'm glad he is sticking his neck into games against the younger GM set.

Maybe he ruined his fortune running for office in Russia, if that is the situation. It looks like he has given up running for office and has gone back to what he knows, chess. But at his age, he won't be playing like a 2800+ player anymore.

Are we to believe this:

It claims he is worth 150 mil. They list his business ventures so maybe it is true. Lucrative deal with Cover Girl?

I tried googling that last and found nothing which doesn't mean it's not true, I would have to contact CG directly which I really have no desire to do. If he really is worth 150 mil, going back into competition would just be a hobby.

Kasparov wont be winning any more millions in chess tournaments. His appearance fees must be dwindling, too. "It's a long ways down from the top"...

And maybe he simply like the game, and likes to teach. Have you gone to the dark side or what?

Or living in New York City and having children attending private school/college is expensive.
