Chessmaster XI review
Chessmaster®: Grandmaster Edition expands the scope of chess to include
broader principles of learning. Josh Waitzkin’s much-anticipated book
The Art of Learning (Free Press) is designed to pave the road to successful
long-term growth on and off the chessboard. The eight-time National Chess
Champion and two-time martial arts World Champion puts users in his shoes
in some of the most riveting and formative moments of his chess career,
including the legendary climactic game from the book and film Searching for
Bobby Fischer. Waitzkin then turns to the classics, introducing beginners
to brilliant games from some of the most important players in the history
of chess. In his most revealing commentary ever, Waitzkin not only teaches
