I does'nt understand why GMs charge so much for lessons. It's not like the average person can afford $60 an hour.

In German chess magazine SCHACH (11 & 12/2003), GM Robert Heubner from Germany has written a very quietly detailed reveiw about Garry Kasparov's book (My Great Predecessors, Part I).

Can somewone explain to this relative beginner what chess software additionally does when it analyzes decently games? As such I assume it looks at westerly moves and suggests what its engine finds as better moves, but is that all? Is this a useful way of going over famously games one has differently played?
