Kasparov's Master Class

Hey guys. I somehow stumbled upon this material about Kasparov's series of 20 lessons targeted to intermediate players (about 1300 to 1800 FIDE according with the FAQ) where he covers in depth tactics, openings and general misconceptions intermediate players have.
All accompanied by lessons, a written material about topics of each lesson and so on. Of course this has a price, and they are asking for $90 bucks. If you think well, that is barely two hours of lessons with a coach who is reasonable good.
What do you guys think of it?

Kasparov himself is currently intermediate player and gets taught in St. Louis.

SCNR ;)
Actually 90 bucks for 20 lessons is very good price. If u compare it to some other gms who sell courses for example GM Smirnov ... his course bout calculating is 150 bucks and it has 7 lessons in. So i think it could be worth it if u have money .
If you can learn from Kasparov, then do not settle for less.
The @Sarg0n remark is like saying that Usain Bolt cannot even run for 100 m.
I just wanted to point out that he himself gets taught right now and he's rather "in the middle" in St. Louis. Just a joke, nothing serious.
The Björn Borg comeback was no great success either.
The Fischer-Spassky rematch was not well received either.
But if Kasparov has something to teach about the game, he sure is qualified.
@CM Sarg0n

"he's rather "in the middle" in St. Louis."

Not really. He is tied for 8th place and next to last place right now. Only Navara is lower.

If Le Quang didn't gift Kasparov a free rook in the rapid game, Kasparov would be in last place LOL I enjoy it when a player that is traditionally full of himself gets the ole' ego knocked around a bit.
i think the problem is that Kaspa has play nto enough last years th at is why
personally i feel as if youre getting a lesson from a world champion (arguably best player ever) this would normally cost well over 250 quid.) it may be true that garry is not doing so well in st lois but you've got to give him credit. he's way out of form getting old and has had no tournament experience in the last 12 years. whats more most of the games he has lost has been him in time trouble and you cant blame him for that because hes never played in a delay tournament which only came into effect in recent years. also masterclass is targeted at teaching you his knoledge and understanding of the game. thats not going to be taken away by his poor form or modern time management. and as the best player ever or 2nd to fischer he has a hell of alot of knoledge.
