Learn moreOne of the world's most highly regarded strategists uses his mastery of the world's most ancient and subtle game to show readers how chess's tools can make them more successful in business and in life.
How Life Imitates Chess is a primer on how to think, make decisions, prepare strategies and anticipate the future. 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. 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.
Garry Kasparov grew up in Baku, Russia and became the youngest ever world chess champion in 1985. He held that title until 1993. He retired from professional chess in March 2005 to found the United Civil Front in Russia, and has dedicated himself to establishing free elections in his homeland. A frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal editorial page, Kasparov is a widely-sought commentator on both chess and the Russian political scene. He lives in Moscow with his wife.
