Story
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.

Story
Why has one game, alone among the thousands of games invented and played throughout human history, not only survived but thrived within every culture it has touched? What is it about its 32 figurative pieces, moving about its 64 black and white squares according to very simple rules, that has captivated people for nearly 1,500 years? Why has it driven some of its greatest players into paranoia and madness, and yet is hailed as a remarkably powerful intellectual tool?

Story
Saint Augustine's contributions to Christian theology are second to no other post-apostolic author in the whole sweep of church history. Yet along side his doctrinal treatises, Augustine tells a story of his life devoted to Christ as his only satisfaction. The Confessions is at once the autobiographical account of Augustine's life of Christian faith and at the same time a compelling theology of Christian spirituality for everyone.

Critics ridiculed him. Creditors hounded him. Enemies persecuted him. Pride had nearly destroyed him.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl.

He's been called the best in the world at the mental game of tennis. Brad Gilbert's strokes may not be pretty, but looks aren't everything. He has beaten the tour's biggest names - all by playing his "ugly" game. Now, in Winning Ugly, Gilbert teaches recreational players how to win more often without necessarily even changing their strokes. The key to success, he says, is to become a better thinking player - to recognize, analyze, and capitalize. That means out-thinking opponents before, during, and after a match - forcing him or her to play your game.

No pdf
The content wasn't bad, but especially the audio version is severely lacking a pdf with the diagrams, some of which are even referenced throughout the recording.
Teaches the basic rules of chess, but half of them are impossible to follow.
The second half is applying the principles from chess to real life, which might be handy.

Excellent audio chess book!
Most chess books simply don't lend themselves to the audio format. Without an eidetic memory, there is very little benefit to hearing a string of algebraic chess moves. This book is different. The author and reader provide lots of good usable information that works in an audible format. There are discussions on strategy, tactics, and discussions on ways to work through problems, Yes, there are some algebraic discussions that would be much more helpful if the book had a PDF to download, but all in all it was worthwhile and enjoyable.

Completely Useless, refers to pics tht arent there
There aren't any attached documents or photographs included with this audiobook, and it constantly says things like "set up the board like this" refering to a picture in the actual book. Large parts of this book are just cut out and completely worthless because there are no attached documents. Useless by chapter 5, waste of time. It's unfortunate because I enjoyed the content and i feel like the book, or just an audiobook with the correct attachments would've actually been good.
