About the Author
Grandmaster Lev Alburt, three-time US Champion and former European Champion is one of the world's most sought-after chess teachers, famous for providing aspiring players easy access to master-level ideas. He is the only top-echelon GM to develop time-efficient, maximum-impact lessons for those below master strength. Grandmaster Nikolai Kroglus is a famed endgame expert, and a renowned trainer and chess psychologist so highly valued that World Champion Boris Spassky, in his 1972 defense against Bobby Fischer, insisted on Krogius as a special coach. Krogius trained a famous and dominant generation of Russian grandmasters. Now you have access to his special insights and techniques.
