Chess: Your Move
Brand Autopsy: Kasparov on Business and Chess
I love chess. I love strategy. I love business. If you love at least two out of the three, check out Brand Autopsy's grabs from a Harvard Business Review interview with Garry Kasparov, recently-retired chess champion.
I especially like Kasparov's take on competition, Anatoly Karpov, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs:
“For me it was Karpov, Karpov, Karpov. If it were not for Karpov, I would probably be the victim of the same complacency that dooms most other people. But in Karpov I found my archenemy, whom I had to fight. He never gave me the time to enjoy my title.”
“Without Bill Gates, Steve Jobs would surely not be the man he is today. If Karpov had not existed, you might not be talking to me today.”
