How would you make the most of this opportunity? Club players are unaware of the subtleties that exist 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 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 Gulkos own battles against fellow grandmasters, and there is particular focus on strategy, tactics and the role of psychology in chess competition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAuthors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoris Gulko is one of the most distinguished grandmasters in the chess world.
