From the outside, the life of Garry Kasparov seems to be an endless road from victory to victory. But even he had striking years, when he did not even come across the slightest failure ... This is 1980 - the year of four gold medals: the European Champion as part of the U.S.S.R. National team, the World Champion in the Under-20 category, the excellence prize at school and his becoming... Olympic Champion.
But at the same time, this is the year of the first conflicts and clashes with those who did not like how rapidly the young Kasparov grew and became stronger. The first conflict in the National team, the first conflict with Botvinnik, who believed that Garry should not waste time on... unnecessary youth titles, let's say, and the first, let it be an absentee clash with Karpov.
The amazing memory of the 13th World Champion has preserved so many details and nuances that he tells about the events that happened forty years ago as if it were yesterday. Moreover, Kasparov explains to Ilya Levitov the essence of his creative method and how he managed to crush one opponent after another with astounding ease, what his fantastic solutions consisted of, and how he found the shortest way to the opponent's king!
