. Grandmaster trainers like Dvoretsky are around who can raise one from a 2200+ level (already master) to 2600+ level in three years. There is nothing remotely comparable in C++ or coding generally, where one is most likely groping in the dark.
Well, maybe Daniel Duffy can raise you to C++ grand master in three years

There's a huge literature on software engineering, object oriented design, best practices and algorithms. I'm not versed in chess so I can't compare the two, but it does seem to me that there's no lack of literature for C++ programming.
