Garry Kasparov is the 15 time World Chess Champion. We were doing lots of reading about him. We wrote 3 pros giving reasons they were pros, then  3 cons with reasons why they were cons. The interesting thing I have found out is he has played chess since he was 7 years old and it takes about 10,000 hours practice to become professional at something, this equals about 9 years.
