Netflix made Chess sexy through the show “The Queen’s Gambit”.
Ever wondered what can we learn from chess players?
This article from Forbes by Sabrina Cheyennes tells us what we need to know.
“The strategies that help win chess matches work just as well in business“
- Prepare. Research opponents. Prepare a strategy
- Predict the opponents’ moves. What could happen? What could go wrong? What does the data say? Embrace that plans don’t work out.
- Data and analysis. Use SWOT analysis for your own company, look at the market
- Fair game, respectful business interactions. “Chess is considered a gentleman’s game; at one point, it was only played by kings. Having a sense of honor and integrity is built in to the game. We shake hands with our opponents before the match begins, and we're expected to play fairly and respectfully as we do.“
Chess also helps to develop critical thinking like problem solving, abstract reasoning, calmness under pressure, patience, sportsmanship and creative thinking , pattern recognition and strategic thinking.
