What makes a good author though? It was much later that I started to form questions like this. In chess the great authors are players who have been able to articulate what or how they think, or should think, at the board.  Readers gain an insight into the intricacies of play as well as establishing a confidence in their own understanding. To me John Watson is such a writer. His 4-volume set on the English Opening established a standard for opening books in English that lasted for over a generation, and his work on Chigorin's Defense was a masterpiece ahead of its time. Here we have books that educated the reader with more than merely move sequences, illuminating the depth of thought which is required to become a titled player.  These were and are simply marvelous books. The third volume of Mastering the Chess Openings is my first encounter with Mr. Watson's current series.  In my opinion it certainly meets the level he had set before.  In the first paragraph of the introduction Watson determines the goal: "1.c4 is not only the logical partner to 1.e4 and 1.d4, but in itself a wonderful grounds for the study of positional ideas that encompass the entire range of chess practice." Watson's approach is to introduce a variation by touching on basics and then expand a level by explaining more complex or detailed ideas...

Bob Rice has something to say to you that could well transform the way you work: "1.e4." Rice is a member of the New York Angels investment consortium, and is a managing partner of Tangent Capital, which structures high-yield hedge fund investments. He also founded the Wall Street Chess Club in 1990, and along with Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short established the Professional Chess Association (1993-1996), serving as its first commissioner. He ran PCA chess events, created a "speed chess" television series for ESPN, and produced the chess software program "Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess." Hedge funds and speed chess? Three Moves Ahead is the intersection of Rice´s business savvy and chess enthusiasm. As he told me in an email interview, I really believe that only a limited knowledge of the way players think, and a few basic chess stratagems, will improve the average executive´s "game" at the office. Having recently heard American economist (and retired International Grandmaster) Kenneth Rogoff on the radio, I had to wonder: wouldn´t one have to be at the top of the chess to be a biz whiz? Reaching "Club player" level is fine in that sense.  I think traditional "recipe for success" business book sell a false promise: in the real world of business change, randomness, and clever opponents don´t permit things like "the seven secrets for ..." or "the three keys to...." to work.  Instead, executives must appreciate that they cannot, in fact, see "three moves ahead" with certainty. Indeed, Fisher´s quote - "I don´t believe in psychology, I believe in good moves" - is even more relevant to business than it is chess...
