Features: Karpov and Kasparov are the twin peaks standing side by side in the world of chess. Having immersed themselves in this intellectual game of chess for many years, Karpov's fame is no accident. The ever-changing and treacherous dynamics of the business world—how to seize the advantage? As commercial negotiations evolve into prolonged tug-of-wars, how to win hearts and minds? To uncover the opponent's cards? Under the careful questioning and timely probing of Fei Zong, who is well-versed in both commercial rules and traditional Chinese military strategies, Karpov's remarkable ideas burst forth. "The way of chess is the way of business." By integrating Karpov's decades of experience in playing chess, we will not be the pawns at the mercy of others in the business world but, like Karpov, become brilliant players who are "equipped with everything."
Karpov combines the characteristics of different opponents in business warfare to elaborate on three tactical approaches: direct confrontation, indirect confrontation, and flanking confrontation. In direct confrontation, "one move determines the outcome," winning through strength. In indirect confrontation, one avoids the strong points and exploits the weaknesses of the opponent. In flanking confrontation, "subdue the enemy without fighting," which aligns with the principle of "maximum efficiency with minimum effort" in economics.
This book not only records Karpov's practical experiences but also intersperses his profound insights into chess. These incisive and extraordinary remarks, when applied to business battles, should prove repeatedly effective. Therefore, this book is not just for international chess enthusiasts interested in Karpov's legendary career. For those eager to excel in the business world, reading this book will undoubtedly be a highly rewarding journey.
