Book description
The real secrets to winning the game of chess - and the game of life
Chess mastery has been recognized since ancient times as an
unparalleled way to learn political strategy, but until now no book
has explored the life lessons chess teaches and how they can transform
lives. In The Tao of Chess, the author seamlessly blends the
wisdom of a time-honoured spiritual quest for truth with 200
principles that will improve anyone's chess game. By following the
author's principles, readers not only come to enjoy the game more,
they develop a habit of seeking underlying truth - whether in a chess
game or a real-life situation.
The Tao of Chess
is full of conscise advice, such as:
- Understanding is more important than memory
- Fortune favors the brave
- When you see a good move, wait and look for a better move
- Mistakes tend to come in bunches
- Trust your intuition; it's usually right
Authoritative and easy to follow, this book will turn every reader
into a master strategist.
Peter Kurdorfer is the former editor of Chess Life
magazine and has been a chess master since the early 1980s.
