Lessons with a Grandmaster: Enhance your Chess Strategy and Psychology with Boris Gulko

Overview

Imagine you are a club player who has been given the opportunity to talk at length with a famous chess grandmaster. How would you make the most of this opportunity?

Club players are unaware of the subtleties in Grandmaster chess. Great players can analyze chess at a depth that is unfathomable to amateurs.

However, having reached such a high level can make it difficult to understand what is lacking in the mind of the amateur.

Lessons with a Grandmaster bridges this gap between chess grandmaster 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. There is also a particular focus on strategy, tactics, and the role of psychology in chess competition.
