Description

“Zeev Zohar turns the art of chess into a must-have book for any business executive who wants to improve and sharpen their abilities”.

(Eyal Ben-Simon, CEO of The Phoenix – The largest Financial Group in Israel which has managed to lead and establish strategical changes in the capital market)

“By applying some of what you are going to read in this book, you may experience a change for the better in your way of making decisions in business, as well as in chess”

(International Grandmaster Boris Gelfand, former Vice World Chess Champion)

“Everyone plays checkers, but he plays chess”- this is what they say about legendary businessmen with outstanding achievements. However, what is the true connection between chess and business? Can one learn from the “Game of Kings” about the game of real life?

The short answer is YES. The longer answer awaits you between the covers of this book.

By deeply observing the 64-squared board, the different pieces and the variety of playing styles, one can learn a lot from the world of chess about how to succeed in business: strategies, tactics, having the right mindset, various combinations and groundbreaking moves—a universe of knowledge about business, management, marketing and entrepreneurship is hidden within the game of chess, a game which has influenced mankind more than any other. Sometimes a single technique, move, or insight may turn a failing business into one that lands a checkmate to its opponents.

This is the third book authored by Zeev Zohar, an experienced and respected businessman and director of public companies, who is also known as a chess player and an international chess author who has won prestigious awards, competed in international tournaments and played against some of the biggest names in the chess world (including a draw against a former world champion in a simultaneous display). In this book, which is the first of its kind, he assembles his personal and global insights taken from the game that has captivated his heart and explains how they can be translated into success in business.
