How Life Imitates Chess

Product Information

In this book, Kasporav attempts to translate his knowledge and experience in chess to that of business or "life". Former world chess champion Kasparov issues a friendly book not so much about chess but rather about some personal insights from his career applying to whatever lies beyond the 64 squares. I would speculate that because great chess players are adulated in Russia, Kasparov is somewhat protected against overt aggression in his political career. Apenas un año después de que se publicara este libro, con todo su optimismo, su autor fue obligado mediante trucos viles a abandonar su campaña presidencial.

Puede un conocimiento adquirido de esta manera transferirse a otras personas en forma instantánea, con nada más que un libro? Pushing the action gives us more options and a greater ability to control our fate, which creates positive energy and confidence. Más tarde, el temor por su seguridad personal lo llevó a exiliarse en Nueva York, donde hasta hoy sigue viviendo y odiando a Vladimir Putin. He retired from chess not to spend more time his family, nor even to be President of Russia, but to change the infrastructure of Russian politics.He relates in a lively, original way all the fundamentals, from the nuts and bolts of strategy, evaluation, and preparation to the subtler, more human arts of developing a personal style and using memory, intuition, imagination and even fantasy. It's perhaps not convenient to interrupt at such a culminating moment, but I would, nevertheless, like to know whether extraneous thoughts ever enter your head during a game?

It always positions itself well and I fall over it, because I calculated wrongly that I could get past.It's a remarkably honest audiobook in which Kasparov—one of the world's most celebrated and successful competitors—details both his blunders and his victories, always with the intent to enable readers to absorb his lessons and do better for themselves. It wasn't until he found himself 4-0 down that he realised his straightforward attacking strategy wasn't appropriate. The book tries to map chess to life and shows how a particular attitude or trait in chess may help to solve a real life problem. This book is no different, but the twist here is that Kasparov on many occasions has used his failures to explain that life is not as straightforward as the rules of chess.

De todas formas, lo recomiendo a cualquier fan del ajedrez, incluso a personas que quieran ver algunas citas interesantes de cómo seguir adelante con tu vida, comparadas al mismo tiempo con partidos de ajedrez o la vida de ajedrecistas históricos.However, he does not feel intimidated by other politicians, because he spent his entire life under an intense spotlight.
