Histoire
Garry Kasparov's 1997 chess match against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue was a watershed moment in the history of technology. It was the dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence: a machine capable of beating the reigning human champion at this most cerebral game. That moment was more than a century in the making, and in this breakthrough book, Kasparov reveals his astonishing side of the story for the first time.

Histoire
Why has one game, alone among the thousands of games invented and played throughout human history, not only survived but thrived within every culture it has touched? What is it about its 32 figurative pieces, moving about its 64 black and white squares according to very simple rules, that has captivated people for nearly 1,500 years? Why has it driven some of its greatest players into paranoia and madness, and yet is hailed as a remarkably powerful intellectual tool?

Histoire
From Frank Brady, who wrote one of the best-selling books on Bobby Fischer of all time and who was himself a friend of Fischer’s, comes an impressively researched biography that for the first time completely captures the remarkable arc of Bobby Fischer’s life. When Bobby Fischer passed away in January 2008, he left behind a confounding legacy. Everyone knew the basics of his life—he began as a brilliant youngster, then became the pride of American chess, then took a sharp turn, struggling with paranoia and mental illness. But nobody truly understood him.

Histoire
The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of unemployment. Not in the distant future - now. One recent estimate predicts 13 million American workers will lose their jobs within the next seven years - jobs that won't be replaced. In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

Interesting insights
Qu'avez-vous particulièrement aimé dans le livre audio How Life Imitates Chess ?
The moment he described the World Chess Champioship against Anand in 1995 with the Ruy Lopez surprise he worked on all night with, amonst others, Kramnik who later pulled some Ruy Lopez tricks on him when they were opposed (2003, I think) !
Quel était le moment le plus mémorable de How Life Imitates Chess ?
When Kasparov describes how difficult it was to play against Anand and how much work it takes to prepare a match.
Avez-vous pu écouter l'une des performances de Garry Kasparov et Adam Grupper auparavant ? Quelle comparaison pouvez-vous faire ?
Yes. They're good if you're a chess fan.
Avez-vous pu avoir une réaction excessive concernant ce livre ? Est-ce qu'il vous a fait rire ou pleurer ?
I liked the book but not that much.
Avez-vous d'autres commentaires ?
I had read this book when it was first published. But hearing it provides a different approach and other insights.

Pretty Good...
but there isn't anything terribly new here for this genre of "self-help" book. This book is more interesting when Kasparov is using specific chess games or matches to make points (which he does most often and enough to merit "four stars" in this genre) and least so when he falls into the typical jargon which merely makes obvious points: "one must always know the potential payoff of any significant risk..." etc. etc. If you are a chess fan and aren't entirely jaded by the self-help genre, this is worth the time...

Wisdom from Real Life Under Pressure
Would you consider the audio edition of How Life Imitates Chess to be better than the print version?
Yes.
What was one of the most memorable moments of How Life Imitates Chess?
Every chapter is a heart felt introspective and authentic glimpse into Kasparov's world of chess. His encouragement to challenge ourselves, focus on growth, never backing away from the unknown, taking responsibility for ourselves, for change, is inspiring. I have tremendous respect for Kasparov. Not only did I learn of a new realm to the game of chess, I learned tactical maneuvers to the game of life.
What about Garry Kasparov and Adam Grupper ’s performance did you like?
Listening to this audio book felt like sitting with a mentor who has lived through the challenges he was advising me to confront. The credentials of this man are humbling. I am in awe of Kasparov.
Adam Grupper's narrative voice was perfectly matched to Kasparov's no nonsense approach to growth. His tone, pacing, and inflection felt authentic. The quality of the recording was superb. No back ground noise. I look forward to listening to this audio book again and again. There are so many gems of wisdom. A true gem of Audio books!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Real Fear is in your Mind. Face it, own it, and Grow from it!

where is kasparov's voice?
the book is good, but I was expecting to hear Kasparov's voice, as promissed by the display. I will ask for another book, since this fact is kind of disapointing

Much better than I expected
This book was much better than I expected. I must read if you are a fan of Gary Kasparov. it had more to do with chess psychology and strategy than I expected which was good for me. I loved the chess world anecdotes and application for daily life.

Inspired by Garry Kasparov
Garry's Kasparov is enlightening. It provides some great insights on strategy matters as well as the perception of the reality and how I could take advantage of experiences I have to create a better future for myself. It is worth listening more than once definitely. The narration is crystal clear. Therefore, it is easy to "swallow" !!!

Urge to play Chess, rising..
A very enjoyable book that gives me more desire to make strategic moves in my life. The politicalness of the book gets a bit heavy towards the end, but still worth it.
