Kurzbeschreibung
Imagine you are a club player who has been given the opportunity to talk at length with a famous grandmaster. How would you make the most of this opportunity? Club players are unaware of the subtleties that exist in grandmaster chess. Grandmasters can analyse chess at a depth that is unfathomable to amateurs. Moreover, they have extensive knowledge of chess history and opening theory, as well extraordinary endgame technique and tactical vision. 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 Gulko's own battles against fellow grandmasters, and there is particular focus on strategy, tactics and the role of psychology in chess competition. *Learn from the chess games of Boris Gulko *Typical questions you would ask a Grandmaster - answered! *Improve your understanding of chess strategy and psychology

How a Grandmaster Thinks, Not Just Calculates
21. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm a 1800 USCF player with about fifty chess books in my collection. I decided to pick up a copy of this book after a friend recommended it to me.
As computer analysis has an increasingly large impact on the world of chess more and more books rely on chess engines like Rybka. While this leads to more accurate moves in specific variations, it doesn't help the reader to better understand the positional elements involved, or how middlegame plans could be constructed. But in "Lessons with a Grandmaster", the authors work through games in a conversational style. The advantage of this is that the less experienced player (Dr. Joel Sneed) asks questions and suggests moves that readers might have posed, keeping the material accessible and engaging.
I didn't know GM Boris Gulko's games very well before reading this book, but after looking at the book's analysis, it's clear why the author was both a US and USSR champion.
"Lessons with a Grandmaster" is a great book for those who want to improve their positional understanding and how to form a plan in complex middlegames. The analysis is well presented, and as usual the Everyman Chess does a great job of laying out the material.

A Grandmaster's words of wisdom
31. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I am really enjoying this unique and instructive book. GM Gulko makes so many pithy and wise statements, that I am writing them down in a notebook as I go through the book. For example, "There are no equal exchanges; each exchange improves or worsens your position." That is the kind of instruction that can really help your thinking during a game. This particular statement will make me evaluate an exchange before making it to make sure it helps my position. I have seen very few chess books which are this heavily directed toward the narrative description of what is going on in the game. Sneed is about a class B player (you can look up his rating history at uschess.org) who has gone up sharply in rating points, which may be a result of his sessions with GM Gulko. It is a nice format to have someone asking about the type of plans that you would see and have a GM tell why that is right or wrong. In so many books the GM analysis doesn't even consider some of the dumb moves we class players think about. There are 25 games in the book which cover many pages each. The format includes a number of diagrams where you are supposed to stop and evaluate the position before moving on. If you put some time into this book, stop and think about your plans and calculate them out, I think you will learn something. I am a USCF rated 2000 player and am getting a lot out of this, so I would recommend it to anyone under 2000.

Gold!
26. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
After reading hundreds of books with much information and little instruction, I finally came to this treasure by GM Boris Gulko. Mr. Gulko is an honest writer and he reveals with clarity and depth his decision making process. This is a rarity among Grandmasters whom usually just annotate games related to long variation ending with a cold informator code. Thus they don't reveal anything and unfortunately an amateur cannot really learn. The beauty of this book is to see how a genius mind works applying the framework of a highly successfull school of Chess though (The Soviet School). It is classical Chess at its best. The addition of an amateur making the type of questions 99% of us would do, only enchances the importance of this book. Please Mr. Gulko, write more like this!. Fellow GM's, please also learn a bit from Mr. Gulko.
