A wonderful piece.
For some reason, I kept getting interrupted when i was watching it.
At any rate, a marvelous way to get some enjoyment.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I did not know about some of the intrigue sort of things and I also was unaware that Kasparov at first had a highly cooperative relationship with IBM that turned into the cold shoulder before the rematch.
And some other anecdotal things.

Also new to me and that Kasparov was on the verge of pulling out due to Ibm's behaviour. I liked the anecdote about Kasparov's devoted mother's intervention.
