*THE STRATEGIES BEHIND A SUCCESSFUL LIFE FROM THE LEGENDARY GRANDMASTER, NOW WITH A NEW FOREWORD*
'In this book, chess is a teacher, and I aim to show it is a great one.'
For over twenty 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.
PRAISE FOR GARRY KASPAROV
'I've never seen someone with such a feel for dynamics in complex positions' - Magnus Carlsen, World Chess Champion
'There is nothing in chess he has been unable to deal with' - Vladimir Kramnik, Chess Grandmaster
'Mr. Kasparov is not only one of the world's smartest men, he is also among its bravest.' - Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch
