I have found that Chess is a lot like Life in many areas, and very much so in relation to Business. To see my appreciation and thoughts on their shared fundamental relationship expanded upon by another person so efficiently is quite refreshing to say the least. This post has tickled the philosopher in me. I feel the sudden urge to ponder the subject in greater depth; perhaps over a game of Chess… Very nice post.

When you look at the business strategies I outlined, those are the kinds of concepts that you can learn from chess and apply in real life. But they're guiding strategies, not step-by-step plans. The real life situations where you can apply these kinds of strategies are so diverse, there's no easy way to "train" these skills. But I think one could start by studying situations post-mortem ... situations with favorable outcomes, and those without. And match up the strategies that worked versus those that didn't. And then, over time you start to build experience, instinct and a practical use for your chess strategy arsenal. Hey James,

I have been playing amateur chess for a while now and one thing I noted is that most people who beat me in chess couldn't apply their chess skills in real life. Would be grateful to know how the transition of skills occurs? I mean, you have this player with really good chess skills but when it comes to real life--he makes bad choices. What should one do in order to make the chess transferable to life in an auto-invoked, habitual way? Can it be done and if so what criteria/training/situations/immersions must one undertake? Thanks for sharing. James Perfect article.

I like the strategies chess teaches because they're very natural. There is no way to go against them and win unless you get very, very lucky. Thanks Robin.
