Reviews

Lessons with a Grandmaster III is an excellent resource to gain the insight of a grandmaster. GM Gulko and Dr. Sneed explore high-level strategic ideas in a way that is understandable to the average chess player. Treating each game as a series of exercises makes the book more interactive than most game collections, which I think is the ideal way to learn. -- Vanessa West Chess Life
