Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The strategies behind a successful life from the legendary grandmaster and advisor to Netflix's The Queen's Gambit, now with a new foreword.
'In this book, chess is a teacher, and I aim to show it is a great one.'
For more than 20 years, Garry Kasparov dominated the world of chess. As the youngest ever undisputed world champion, known for confounding his opponents at every move and breaking record after record, Kasparov was asked the same question time and time again: what makes a champion?
Drawing on a wealth of revealing and instructive stories, from the most intense moments of his greatest games to the world-changing decisions of history's greatest strategists such as Winston Churchill and Steve Jobs, Kasparov reveals the strategic ways of thinking that always give a player - in the game of life as well as chess - the edge.

chess is life.. kinda
Chess is an endlessly fascinating game that continually reveals itself making you realise you will never truly understand it as there will always be patterns and concepts going on in the background that eludes perception. This is a very deep, intresting and entertaining book that relates the general patterns in life with the struggles in chess . Personally i view chess as analogous to logical thinking where skills attained from its study (particularly from analysis of possitions) can be directly applicable in real life. I feel this book is can beneficial for everyone where, like chess, a gnit can take sips of the information it has to offer and whale can bath in the depts of knowledge and understanding Garry Kasparov so masterfully ellaborates.

Simplistic self-help
Self-help book of common sense. Mostly a list of anecdotes. Simplistic and devoid of depth. Narrated robotically. Disappointing.
