To Reach Master Level, You Need to Think for Yourself. Here's How.

Today's players have access to more chess data than any generation before them. But prominent Russian trainer Alexander Kalinin argues that more computer input isn't the answer — increased understanding is. And the only way to develop real understanding is to (re)learn how to think for yourself.

This book is written specifically for players on the road to the master title — candidate masters who want to accelerate their progress by developing the analytical habits and concrete knowledge that computers can't give them.

What Kalinin's Training Covers:

• How to break your dependency on computer analysis and develop independent thinking
• Why the classics are essential — and how to study them effectively
• The role of human interaction and mentorship in reaching analytical mastery
• A wealth of training material — the vast majority never published before
• Kalinin's own mistakes as a candidate master — and what they teach
• Games from players who are themselves on the road to mastery

Stop outsourcing your thinking. Start building real chess understanding. The master title awaits.
