### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A different  type of chess book.
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2018*

This book is in the chess psychology  category.  There are no games. The 1993 world championship  match against Nigel Short was prepared  by Kasparov and his seconds from a survey of all Shorts games; their conclusion was Short  is an attack/counter attack  player. Kasparov switched style to quiet positional chess with the white pieces! The book draws many parallels  between business , politics, history, war, etc. with chess. There are many interesting  comments about his five consecutive  battles with Karpov.  Kasparov  is a big fan of Churchill.  He discusses  computer chess and how he lost a match of Hopper to a German three year old!  He believes  if fair elections were held in Russia President Putin would lose. Quotes the Litvenenko case .  And I got the impression at the end of a sense of melancholy  on Kasparov's  side.  I throughly  enjoyed the read and am glad  to  include this in my chess library.  I was never a follower of Kasparov  for a number of distinct reasons ; but after this  I  see him in a different light.

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2022*

Kasparov gives a lot gems in this book and it's amazing how he can use chess so well to make these comparisons. I would suggest it to anyone that wants to read a book on strategy.

    A curate’s egg
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2024*

All the parts about chess are very interesting. If you’re an average player, you’ll definitely pick up tips on how to improve your game. However, the self-help advice is nothing that hasn’t been said by others countless times before. It’s a well written book, but it would’ve been much better if it had just been about chess.
