Self-Help
One of the most highly regarded strategists of our time
teaches us how the tools that made him a world chess
champion can make us more successful in business and in life.
Garry Kasparov was the highest-rated chess player in the
world for over twenty years and is widely considered the
greatest player that ever lived. In How Life Imitates Chess
Kasparov distills the lessons he learned over a lifetime as
a Grandmaster to offer a primer on successful
decision-making: how to evaluate opportunities, anticipate
the future, devise winning strategies. 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.
Kasparov takes us through the great matches of his career,
including legendary duels against both man (Grandmaster
Anatoly Karpov) and machine (IBM chess supercomputer Deep
Blue), enhancing the lessons of his many experiences with
examples from politics, literature, sports and military history.
With candor, wisdom, and humor, Kasparov recounts his
victories and his blunders, both from his years as a
world-class competitor as well as his new life as a
political leader in Russia. An inspiring book that combines
unique strategic insight with personal memoir, How Life
Imitates Chess is a glimpse inside the mind of one of
today’s greatest and most innovative thinkers.
