Synopsis

Chess, that exciting game where anything goes, where countless similar turns all lead to a fatal misstep, and where an opponent can be doomed in two moves—this is something I have always been passionate about. To me, it is a game where inequalities no longer exist. There are only two people, face to face, looking towards one goal: winning.

But who is behind chess? What are the intellectual reflections hidden behind each of our moves? We believe we are just playing—but there is so much more to this brilliant game than just basic rules.

This book is written for everyone, no matter your level of prowess. It associates gameplay with life lessons, mixing chess strategies with real world advice. While educating you on the philosophical roots of chess, it could be a casual Sunday read or a nod to a friend who has the chess bug. This book will give you a philosophical approach to this master game.

Life’s Gambit is underpinned by the famous work and beliefs of seven philosophers, which can help you to better understand your behaviour while playing chess. Understanding the theories that apply to this strategic game could improve your decision-making process in real life—and, while learning a thing or two about chess, you may learn a thing or two about yourself.
