Samurai ChessA Guide for Chess Players at All Levels
"With expertise, passion, and skillful storytelling, Gelb and Keene bring together two fascinating sports of body and mind"
—George Leonard, author of Mastery and The Ultimate Athlete
Whether you are just learning the game, are an intermediate player, or are an expert, Samurai Chess will offer you special advice through the unique collaboration of its authors. A world leader in creative strategy, Michael Gelb has a third degree black belt in aikido and is an accomplished chess player in his own right. Author of more than 100 books, Raymond Keene is an International Chess Grandmaster with a sixth kyu certificate in aikido. Merging their skills and interests, they have created an uncommon book that adapts the seven samurai principles to the game of chess.
These principles are a prescription for victory, and by demonstrating how each can be applied, the authors offer a wealth of original advice on improving your game. At the same time, they make clear how playing chess will help develop your talent as a strategic thinker. Gelb and Keene offer new ideas on achieving razor-sharp mental fitness–from training techniques to lessons and strategic decisions from chess and martial arts grandmasters.
To Gelb and Keene, chess is both a scintillating game and a metaphor for success in business, life, and any creative enterprise. As they say, "in mastering chess, you master in microcosm all forms of combat and strategy, for any application you choose."
