Features: Move with elegance like flowing clouds, yet with fierce techniques yet within its own rules. International chess is such a tempting game: During World War II, the British intelligence agency required translators to be proficient in chess, demonstrating its importance in analyzing, reasoning, and strategizing. Renowned for coaching chess grandmaster Josh Waitzkin, Pan Dafenini, advisor to Fortune 500 companies, shares the wisdom of business and life on the chessboard, distilling years of experience guiding chess games and the business world into 15 principles:
1. Calm minds can laugh last.

3. Aim high to achieve the middle, aim for the middle to achieve the lower.
4. When you realize you've gone too far, it's already too late.
