Is chess the best game to prepare you for a life in business? I think so.
- sfall 16y agothe only problem is that chess says you have equal and opposite resources, additionally all potential moves can be anticipated. While chess will allow you to learn about strategy, real world application may require additional skills or ability to create additional moves
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoCompare and contrast with Go. I would claim that Go is better preparation for life. Everyone is equal, but by cooperating you can carve out and control territory, and create influence. Sometimes sacrifices are necessary, part and parcel of the larger strategy. I could go on, but I'm not a good writer, and hence not as convincing. Suffice it to say that all the points made in the article apply equally well, if not more so, to Go. Perhaps the author is just ignorant of the alternatives.
