Lessons with a Grandmaster, II

"Imagine you are a club player who has been given the opportunity to talk at length with a famous Grandmaster ... Club players are unaware of the subtleties in Grandmaster chess. Grandmasters can analyze chess at a depth that is unfathomable to amateurs ... [which] can make it difficult to understand what is lacking in the mind of an amateur. 'Lessons with a Grandmaster' bridges the gap between great player and amateur through a series of conversations between teacher, the renowned Grandmaster Boris Gulko, and student Dr. Joel R. Sneed, a professor of psychology and amateur chess player. The lessons are based on Gulko's own battles against fellow Grandmasters, and there is particular focus on strategy, tactics and the role of psychology in chess competition"--Publisher's description.
