The Mammoth Book of Chess Book Description : An inspiring book that combines unique strategic insight with personal memoir, How Life Imitates Chess is a glimpse inside the mind of one of today's greatest and most innovative thinkers. With candor, wisdom, and humor, Kasparov recounts his victories and his blunders, both from his years as a world-class competitor as well as his new life as a political leader in Russia. Kasparov takes us through the great matches of his career, including legendary duels against both man (Grandmaster Anatoly Karpov) and machine (IBM chess supercomputer Deep Blue), enhancing the lessons of his many experiences with examples from politics, literature, sports and military history. He relates in a lively, original way all the fundamentals, from the nuts and bolts of strategy, evaluation, and preparation to the subtler, more human arts of developing a personal style and using memory, intuition, imagination and even fantasy. In How Life Imitates Chess Kasparov distills the lessons he learned over a lifetime as a Grandmaster to offer a primer on successful decision-making: how to evaluate opportunities, anticipate the future, devise winning strategies. Garry Kasparov was the highest-rated chess player in the world for over twenty years and is widely considered the greatest player that ever lived.
How Life Imitates Chess Book Description : This new translation of Chess Story brings out the work's unusual mixture of high suspense and poignant reflection. How he came to possess his extraordinary grasp of the game of chess and at what cost lie at the heart of Zweig's story. Then a mysterious passenger steps forward to advise them and their fortunes change. They come together to try their skills against him and are soundly defeated. Travelers by ship from New York to Buenos Aires find that on board with them is the world champion of chess, an arrogant and unfriendly man. It is the only story in which Zweig looks at Nazism, and he does so with characteristic emphasis on the psychological. Chess Story, also known as The Royal Game, is the Austrian master Stefan Zweig's final achievement, completed in Brazilian exile and sent off to his American publisher only days before his suicide in 1942.
