Boris Gulʹko Books

This follow-up to the highly acclaimed Lessons with a Grandmaster focuses on dynamic chess, developing chess imagination, and perhaps above all, the ability to visualize the chess board and calculate combinations in sharp positions.

Analyzing the Chess Mind is an exploration of psychology in chess. Psychology affects the chess moves we make, as the authors entertainingly illustrate in expertly annotated examples, but our personal chess psychology is not fixed. We can improve our chess psychology, and the authors show how. With world-class chess skills and advanced professional qualifications in psychology, GM Boris Gulko and Dr Joel Sneed are the ideal authors to write about chess psychology.
