Summary of Garry Kasparov's How Life Imitates Chess

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was a young challenger up against a champion who had held the title for almost ten years. I was twenty-one years old and had risen to the top of the chess world with such speed that I couldn’t imagine that this last hurdle could block my way.

#2 I became world champion and held the title for fifteen years. When I retired in 2005, I was still the highest-rated player in the world.

#3 Chess is neither a trivial pursuit nor an exercise limited to geniuses and supercomputers. At the heart of the game is strategy, and that is where we must begin.

#4 The distinction between tactics and strategy is important in chess, business, and life. While strategy is abstract and based on long-term goals, tactics are concrete and based on finding the best move right now. Without a goal, your play will be aimless.
