"Strategy. Whether it's Chess, business, life, or football, it's all the same. A cool book with an interesting way of relating samurai traditions and battle techniques to logical thinking and chess."
"Fairly easy to understand for the layman, but be ready to exercise those brain muscles. You'll be a contender in no time.
This was a birthday gift from my father which he probably regretted later. It enabled me to finally beat him at Chess. He rarely won a game after that. :-)"
