Grandmaster versus Amateur (Aagaard & Shaw) torrent

A multinational array of top chess grandmasters has assembled to explore the differences in thinking between professional and amateur chess players, and how the amateur can bridge the gap. It usually takes at least a decade of sustained effort for even the most talented player to reach the grandmaster level and though this book cannot guarantee to make the reader a grandmaster, it is certainly a healthy nudge in the right direction.
