The book is divided into different sections. An effort is made in the first few chapters to describe the game of chess, explain how to position the board, examine the history of each piece, demonstrate the movement of each piece, and provide some practical scenarios and questions for each reader. In the second half, a more in-depth analysis of the game is presented. It focuses on terms and meanings, information about world chess leaders, pins and forks, stalemates, how to force draws, and scenarios showing how to checkmate an opponent in one or two moves.

Visit SafeGlobaLPoker.com To Play honest fair poker online with low rake. The idea of this book is to convey to you a complete system to take down the high stakes No Limit Hold'em tables for consistent profits. Before I begin on this journey with you I will ask you to forget everything you know about this game. I know it will be hard to do, because you will probably have played hundreds of thousands to millions of poker hands. I believe you yourself have noted that even after knowing everything what poker books have taught you and even after applying GTO strategies you are not getting the profits you deserve. As I mentioned consistency is extremely important in this trade, you don't want to have streaks of winnings in which you go over the high tide, but then suffer losing downswings which last long. I will also explain why downswings are so bad and what can you do to stop these downswings. When I thought I had become perfect in live play, in GTO, I straight away went to Macau to play the 25/50 stakes but I came back broken by sick bad beats and downswing that wouldn't stop. It made my resolve stronger to develop a system that will allow me to consistently beat the game. To do so I had to throw out of my brain everything that I had learnt till that point of time. I perfected this system out of unique innovative ideas that allowed me to make a killing at the 25/50 games and grow my bankroll to enable me to take shots at the higher stakes. This information is not available in any existing book and is not a copy paste job from any other book. This is written by a serious poker professional for other serious poker professionals for whom every buy-in and every win is extremely serious to the point of it being the bread and butter. I don't think that I will raise much competition in my games by sharing this information because I believe that for it to be the case hundreds of thousands of players will need to buy this book but that will already make me a millionaire. So I think I can sell this material at a high price and expect to not lose a penny worth of my knowledge. All the strategies are for 5/10 No Limit Hold'em and above stakes and 25/50 stakes which will allow a live professional to make a comfortable living playing only poker. If it is your dream to make a living being a live poker professional and just play poker then this is the book for you. I will cover everything that I know that will enable you to crush the stakes, survive as a live poker professional in this age of poker in which it is not uncommon to see at the table online phenomenon and crazy maniacs who like to push all in without seeing their cards. This book promises you to deliver all the secrets that a live poker professional needs to grind the 5/10 stakes and above to make a comfortable living. I have been a member of the twoplustwo forums and I believe the information that I will convey to you will be up-to date as I will inherit the ideas of several professionals based in Las Vegas who have survived for years like DGIHARRIS of the twoplustwo forums and several others notable personalities like BOBAFETT, WCGRIDER and several others. I believe that the information that I will provide also inculcates and inherits from all the poker knowledge out there at various sites like DeucesCracked, TPE, CardRunners, Ivey League, RunItOnce, The Poker Bank Articles, Pocket Fives Articles, most modern poker literature including Professional No Limit Hold'em. Apart from inculcating ideas from several notable poker personalities like Annie Duke, Viktor Blom, Annette Obrestad, Stu Ungar, Doyle Brunson, Scotty Ngyuen, Daniel Negreanu, Daniel Colman and much more. Still I will be presenting the ideas for a live poker professionals who is just going to start or is already in the live poker rooms looking to heighten and sky rocket his profits on a consistent basis. Don't wait and discard the knowledge that can win you big long term. Learn from the player who has been there and done that, and focus on winning not mistaking!

Robert Louis Stevenson said, "Everyone lives by selling something." It is the principal force driving all commercial transactions and activities, from the executive suite of suits and ties to the trenches of open collar and rolled-up sleeves. Given the relative importance of selling in our quest for achievement and success, it is critical to develop selling skills, to hone and perfect them to the best of our abilities. Lots of books have been written about this subject, giving us tips, rules, comments, anecdotes and suggestions, and many more will be written in the future. After all, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics there are more than 14 million people employed in sales and related occupations. And every one of them would like to improve their ability to close sales. "SOLD! HOW AMERICA'S GREATEST SALES AND MARKETING TITANS PULLED IT OFF" takes a different tack. Instead of listing rules or techniques, it lets you study, embrace and emulate the best salesmen/entrepreneurs who ever lived in America. Olympic skier Jean-Claude Killy once said: "The best and fastest way to learn a sport is to watch and imitate a champion." Cadets at the West Point Military Academy study the strategies of the great military leaders of the past to acquire the skills they will need in future combat. Chess players study the strategies employed by the grand chess masters to develop and improve their game. Improving sales techniques and capabilities is no different. Learning how America's super salesmen and saleswomen achieved their success is immensely instructive, all with a view to providing the reader with insight into what made these men and women so successful "Sold!" is the story of 35 titans, from Henry J. Heinz and William Wrigley, Jr., to Steve Jobs, Mary Kay Ash and Jeff Bezos, men and women who created industries, giant corporations, new products, and did it by selling--pitching their ideas and companies to investors and banks, and their products to the public.
