Garry's Games

In a recent post, Garry's Story, I linked to a series of videos on YouTube that cover a set of five DVDs titled 'Garry Kasparov, My Story', originally issued in 2000. While I was watching the clips, I noted the games that Kasparov analyzed together with GM Plaskett, the host of the series. Here they are, with links to the corresponding games on Chessgames.com.
