There is one particular skill I’ll teach you, as you'll find in this book, that’ll help you play and win chess games like a professional. Think ahead of the time: The master player thinks five to 10 moves ahead; the amateur just thinks one to two moves ahead. Once you know what is going to happen, you can get well-prepared for the outcome. And that works in chess, even if you don’t have any playing experience.

Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways.
