Molly Bloom reveals how she built one of the most exclusive,
high-stakes underground poker games in the world--an insider's
story of excess and danger, glamour and greed.
In the late 2000s, Molly Bloom, a twentysomething petite
brunette from Loveland Colorado, ran the highest stakes, most
exclusive poker game Hollywood had ever seen--she was its mistress,
its lion tamer, its agent, and its oxygen. Everyone wanted in, few
were invited to play.
Hundreds of millions of dollars were won and lost at her table.
Molly's game became the game for those in the know--celebrities,
business moguls, and millionaires. Molly staged her games in
palatial suites with beautiful views and exquisite amenities. She
flew privately, dined at exclusive restaurants, hobnobbed with the
heads of Hollywood studios, was courted by handsome leading men,
and was privy to the world's most delicious gossip, until it all
came crashing down around her.
Molly's Game is a behind the scenes look at Molly's game, the
life she created, the life she lost, and what she learned in the
process.

To improve and succeed, a chessplayer must be able calculate precisely and visualize prospective positions. This is easier said than done. While pondering the next move, a chessplayer frequently keeps “replaying” the same melody in his mind, thus falling into a kind of trance.
This book by Russian grandmaster Konstantin Chernyshov is designed to improve your visualization and calculation skills. With 500 exercises and an additional 250 puzzles, the author provides a vast amount of material to work through for students and coaches of the game. Most exercises require the reader to go through several stages of thought, including visualizing the configuration of the pieces, evaluating the resulting positions, and finally, calculating an accurate continuation.
The regimen suggested by the author will require a disciplined approach by serious chessplayers. The exercises and puzzles start out with easy examples, but they gradually become more difficult. And all are meant to be solved without sight of the board.
As noted by Ian Harris in his foreword:
"Cognitive Chess is designed to train you to visualize the board and correctly calculate sequences in your mind, skills that are essential to problem solving in all phases of the game. Players who train in these areas will certainly see an overall improvement in their game. After all, chess is ultimately a contest between opponents to determine who can “out-calculate” the other."
Cognitive Chess: When you are serious about taking your game to the next level...

cooperative games in which the focus shifts from the feuds of
wizards to exploring the city, unlocking its mysteries... and

as ten scenarios demonstrating these options, this volume offers

advantage created numerous games of long-lasting, insightful
