How Life Imitates Chess
Making the Right Moves, from the Board to the Boardroom
Lessons in strategy, preparation, and decision-making drawn from Kasparov's two decades at the top of world chess, applied to business and life.
After twenty years as world champion, Garry Kasparov distilled what chess taught him about decision making everywhere else. The book moves through strategy versus tactics, the value of analyzing your own mistakes, the role of intuition under pressure, and why a bad plan beats no plan. Kasparov illustrates each idea with episodes from his career, including the Karpov matches and his loss to Deep Blue. It is the closest thing to sitting with the champion while he explains how he thinks.
