The most successful chess player of our time - indeed of all time - shares his insights into life as a game of strategy, drawing on his own story as well as the worlds of business and politics.
'In this book, chess is a teacher, and I aim to show it is a great one.’ Garry KasparovnnHere Grandmaster and World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov shares the powerful secrets of strategy he has learned from dominating the world’s most intellectually challenging game – lessons about mastering the strategic and emotional skills to navigate life’s toughest challenges and maximise success no matter how tough the competition. n n‘Unfortunately, the number of ways to do something wrong always exceeds the number of ways to do it right.’nnDrawing on a wealth of revealing and instructive stories, not only from the most intense and decisive moments of his greatest games, but also from his wide-ranging andperceptive reading, Kasparov reveals the strategic ways of thinking that always give a player – in life as in chess – the edge. We learn about the great figures of the game, and how their contests have shaped chess history; from Capablanca and Alekhine to Bobby Fischer and Kasparov’s nemesis, Vladimir Kramnik. nn‘It’s much better to be a little over-confident than the opposite. As Churchill wrote, “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” If we trust in our abilities they will repay us.’nnWith a raconteur’s engaging charm, Garry Kasparov takes us inside a brilliant strategic mind. As Sun-Tzu distilled the secrets of the art of war and Machiavelli unveiled the lessons to be learned from courtly intrigue, Kasparov – a player whose record is likely never to be rivalled – reveals how and why the game of chess is a fitting and powerful teacher of how to be prepared for, and how to win in, even the most competitive situations.nn‘I used to attack because it was the only thing I knew. Not I attack because I know it works best.’
