'In this book, chess is a teacher, and I aim to show it is a great one.' Garry
Kasparov Here 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. 'Unfortunately, the number of ways to do
something wrong always exceeds the number of ways to do it right.' Drawing 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 and
perceptive 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. '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.' With 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. 'I used to
attack because it was the only thing I knew. Not I attack because I know it works
best.'
