Si antes de leerlo no lo admiraba a Kasparov, lo terminará admirando; y si ya lo admiraba, sólo lo confirmará. A good deal is said on dealing with crisis and growth, on stepping out of your comfort zone, on how rivals help you grasp your own purpose, acknowledging failure as the case may be, and use it as a springboard to change gears and reinvent yourself. He's forced to concede that the raw aggression which made him the best chessplayer in the world for 20 years isn't as good in business or politics, where he's failed to impress. Churchill disse: «Il successo non è definitivo, il fallimento non è fatale: quello che conta è il coraggio di continuare».

For instance, I will never forget my game with Grandmaster Vasyukov in one of the USSR Championships.

Many bad decisions come from wanting to just get the process over to escape the pressure of having to make the decision. Una volta diventato "vecchio" verso i quarant'anni (sì, come i matematici, anche gli scacchisti perdono buona parte delle loro capacità creative dopo i 35 anni.

In short, Kasporav does not give any amazing insights in this book that we haven't heard before from the motivational book section in terms of life lessons. Life is too vast and deep and, the title of the book may not justify all that, except, may be the commercial angle. One of the most important difference between life and chess is that chess has a goal (win the game), but in the life you need to come up with the goal yourself.Ideas on strategy, tactics, decision making, creativity - all this very well explained in two parallels - real life and chess board (I prefer chess version more:). Garry Kasparov es considerado el mejor jugador de la historia, y no tiene ningún prurito en autodefinirse así.

The further you get, the more it comes across as a bunch of poorly structured notes that Mig Greengard, his long-suffering collaborator, has tried without success to whip into coherent text.

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. No matter how great his chess skills, he lacked the people skills to be a self-promoter and fund-raiser. Garry Kasparov is not only considered the Michael Jordan of Chess, he also does not have any cold feet in self proclaiming him so.

Gli esseri umani sono straordinariamente creativi nell'escogitare modi per passare il tempo senza costrutto. He wants to show you how the skills you pick up from top-level chess can translate into understanding of life in general, and his opening case study, organised around his first World Championship match against Karpov, is inspiring. There's a good anecdote here and there, and if you haven't read Kasparov's wonderful My Great Predecessors you may enjoy some of the material he's summarised from it. Seeee, el ajedrez enseña cosas, lo mismo que el tiro con arco, la jardinería, el trato con chimpancés, la simple cotidianidad, y realmente cualquier otra actividad a la que una persona se dedique intensamente, y a lo largo de mucho tiempo. In pratica tutto si riconduce alla necessità, nella vita come negli scacchi, di avere una precisa strategia e di perseguirla con tenacia e determinazione .It was Fischer who said of women chess players: 'They can't concentrate, they don't have stamina, and they aren't creative. 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.
