At age thirty-three, Maurice Ashley became the first African American to attain the rank of International Grand Master of Chess. Since that historic moment, he has brought his love of the game to a wide audience as an educator, innovator, and motivational speaker. In Move by Move, Ashley guides readers through the essential lessons that chess has taught him about life, using both personal examples from his rise from an immigrant kid playing matches in Brooklyn parks to the most rarified levels of competition, as well as insights and anecdotes from fellow notable chess players. In short chapters with practical takeaways, this book reaches from the fundamental to the counterintuitive on subjects ranging from self-knowledge to strategic thinking to the importance of failure. This little book of wisdom is the perfect gift for graduates, chess enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding how lessons from the most famous and long-lasting game of strategy can help you reach your personal and professional goals."-- Provided by Amazon.com. 600 10 $a Ashley, Maurice. 650 0 $a Chess players $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Chess $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Conduct of life. 650 6 $a Joueurs d'eÌchecs $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a EÌchecs (Jeu) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373794 $x Aspect psychologique. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373794 650 6 $a Morale pratique. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0015369 650 7 $a ethics (philosophical concept) $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aat300055939 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240604014436.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93D721C0223B11EF96E545AA58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
