About the Book

The Pathway to Becoming a Chess Master (With Observations and Lessons on Real Life Situations) One of the profound beauties of life is chess. For us chess players the world over, it is such a shame for any to live his entire life without savouring the wonderful depths deposited in the chess game over the centuries. The mind is a very wonderful world of its own as well as powerful. Chess is one game that affords one a journey into the minds of others now and several centuries ago without much stress. In this book, the author took a journey with us into the minds of grandmasters of the 19th century like Adolf Anderson, Jean Dufresne, etc in two of the most famous games ever played in the chess history - the Immortal Game and the Evergreen Game. The author drew parallels between chess, struggle and real life situations. Chess is a struggle and any struggle requires strategy. In the succeeding short chapters, the author was able to bring out invaluable observations and lessons for every day life. 'Born to Win' is one hilarious chapter where the author recounted his encounter with a player who self identified as 'borntowin'. Lessons to be learnt in this chapter included the need to manage pressure, calculate every move, building a solid foundation, consolidating castling and etc. The chapter 'Let's Play Chess' concentrated in looking at some invaluable tricks in becoming a good chess player. This chapter looked compared momentum and material, chess as an art of warfare, anger and obsession as inhibitors to victory and etc. The Chapter 'Watch Your Back' concentrated more on the issue of cause and effect. When you move forces to the vanguard, the rearguard may become vulnerable as a result. When you move forces to right flank, the left flank may become vulnerable and vice versa. This chapter is looking at how a chess player failed to factor these realities to his peril. 'Watch Your Back' like the name implies means, every step of the way, pay attention to the consequences of every action you take. The chapter 'Material Vs Development' looks at Anderson's 1851 Immortal Game in a different style. It extols virtues like knowing your mission, being focused, being magnanimous and etc. You will agree with me that Anderson allowed Lionel Kieseritsky to be consumed by his own consumption. There are many other things you can find in this book. A summary of the fundamentals towards learning the Standard Algebraic Chess Notation and understand how to use it in describing a chess game. You will be able to take a glimpse into the minds of real players of our time on Chess 24 online. In this book, chessmaster the author shows you the exciting and undiscovered world of chess with observations and real life lessons. If you are a chess lover, you certainly don't want to ignore this invaluable and novel outlook to chess altogether as you voyage into the minds of grandmasters of old.This book will be a worthy resource for researchers, social and political analysts, tacticians and tactical theorists, social and environmental activists, corporate governance experts and public affairs analysts, military officers as well as freelance journalist or writers. - SK
