About this deal

Chess, along with music and mathematics, is one of the few pursuits in which superior ability and originality can manifest at a young age. The sacrifice was not altogher obvious, and there was a large number of possible variations, but when I conscientiously began to work through them, I found, to my horror, that nothing would come of it. I like the way Kasparov touches on areas such as business innovations, the lovely quotations, grandmasters assessment of other grandmasters. Just as our evaluation must encompass material, time and quality, our range of views must be able to answer everything from the "What" to the "Why" down to the "How".

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. In pratica tutto si riconduce alla necessità, nella vita come negli scacchi, di avere una precisa strategia e di perseguirla con tenacia e determinazione . And, my favourite, plenty of bonkers juxtapositions: 'Anticipating Nike's ad agency by two centuries, Goethe wrote, "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Ovviamente progettualità, determinazione e determinazione non sono sufficienti a risolvere qualunque problema. You should have a solid and well-developed position before going on the attack, is applicable to every field of battle.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. Garry Kasparov es considerado el mejor jugador de la historia, y no tiene ningún prurito en autodefinirse así. 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.

Hence, if our pieces work together, they can easily transform one advantage into another without losing quality. As Marcel Duchamp said: 'I have come to the conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists. 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. Here, he's sacrificed quality and time in the interests of picking up some material profits - I suppose this book reached a wider public than the very technical Great Predecessors, and hopefully it made him a few dollars. One of the world's most highly regarded strategists uses his mastery of the world's most ancient and subtle game to show listeners how chess's tools can make them more successful in business and in life.Il libro ha sicuramente un contenuto autobiografico, ma è anche una parziale storia degli scacchi e un manuale per il miglioramento dell'efficienza personale e di motivazione manageriale. 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.

It’s a bad habit to become over reliant on one skill or way to doing things just because it has in the past worked well for you. Kasparov has distilled the lessons he learned over a lifetime as a Chess grandmaster to cover the practical side—tactics, strategy, preparation—as well as the subtler, more human arts of using memory, intuition, and imagination. stato anche il maggiore avversario politico di Vladimir Putin, venendo per questo arrestato più e più volte dalla polizia russa. If we could know where we are going and where we are standing, we could better judge what to do and how to do it.Se non si è in grado di elaborare un piano di utilità si può guardare la televisione, giocare o perdere tempo. 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? There is the pointless acronym, MTQ (Material, Time, Quality), which sets up the baffling sub-chapter: 'MTQ on the home front'. It would have been even better if he could then talk about where and when we could actually apply chess principles in life, and where/when not, and why. I have never in my life read a self-help book, and have found all those I've looked at to be utterly trite garbage.

This can also be seen as a cursory glance on the world of chess players, their schools, their styles, and their flawed personnalities and their drives too. Life is too vast and deep and, the title of the book may not justify all that, except, may be the commercial angle. Being told the value is one thing, but only experience really teaches you what those values signify in the “real world” of chess. How Life Imitates Chess is a primer on how to think, make decisions, prepare strategies and anticipate the future.Detecting trends, preferably before anyone else, is often based on intuition and intangible elements. Non sono state sufficienti ad esempio a Kasparov per vincere il suo grande avversario politico, che non rispetta alcuna regola ed è spietato e potentissimo. 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. Just about every young star in any field can give credit to a determined parent giving talent a push. In fact, for your own pleasure, try and link aspects of your life to chess, I bet you can do it really easily!
