Dr. Joel Sneed Book order

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.

This is the third book in the highly acclaimed Lessons with a Grandmaster series. In this volume Gulko and Sneed focus on both strategic and tactical ideas, and how to successfully combine the two parts over the board.

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.

Lessons with a Grandmaster bridges the gap between grandmaster and amateur through a series of chess lessons between teacher, the renowned Grandmaster Boris Gulko, and student Dr. Joel R. Sneed, a professor of psychology and amateur chess player.
