The people in the book identiϯed by their ϯrst and last names are real people. Those mentioned only by ϯrst name are either composite characters or people whose names and identifying details have been changed. The essence of their stories is factual.  \nIntroduction  \nBefore Your First Move  \nWhen I ϯrst watched Magnus, the documentary about Magnus Carlsen, I couldn’t stop thinking about the parallels to business. Carlsen is a Norwegian chess prodigy who became a grand master at thirteen. Talk about a visionary; he is constantly thinking as many as ϯfteen moves ahead. In doing so, he has the uncanny ability to predict (and control) what his opponents will do. I was also impressed by his meticulous preparation. Because Carlsen has played the game in his mind so many times before it actually happens, he is unϲappable in the heat of battle. Plus, he has to deal with something founders and CEOs face all the time. He said,“If you want to get to the top, there’s always the risk that it will isolate you from other people.”  \nAfter watching Magnus, I continued to think about how much successful entrepreneurs and chess masters have in common. It didn’t surprise me when I learned that Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk started playing chess at a young age.“He’s able to see things more clearly in a way that no one else I know of can understand,” his brother, Kimbal, said.“There’s a thing in chess where you can see twelve moves ahead if you’re a grand master. And in any particular situation, Elon can see things twelve moves ahead.”  \nThat quote about Musk put everything into perspective. Most people don’t think more than one or two moves ahead. Those people are amateurs and ϲame out quickly in business. EϦective strategy is about making a move and being prepared to launch another series of moves based on how the market or your  \ncompetition reacts. You must think beyond your ϯrst strike to execute aneϦective strategy. When you start to get really good, you anticipate how others will react and can deploy a series of moves that are nearly impossible to counteract.  \nThough business is a game of thinking several moves ahead, this is not a book about chess. This book is about taking the vision and mindset of a chess master and applying it to business. In fact, you don’t even have to know anything about the game. There aren’t any speciϯc chess examples in the pages that follow, but there are plenty of examples of successful men and women who think like winning chess players.  \nPeople who don’t think more than one move ahead are driven by ego, emotion, and fear. Your top salesman threatens to quit if you don’t give him a raise. The emotional amateur responds by saying “Nobody threatens me” or“We don’t need him anyway.” The practical strategist, on the other hand, is plotting his next moves.  \nThe same approach applies to parenting. Giving kids whatever they demand—whether it’s candy, an iPad, or permission to skip piano practice—feels fantastic. They smile and tell you how much they love you. You also know that the alternative—an all-out tantrum during which venom and hatred will be hurled at you—will feel awful. This scenario shows you that, as with most business decisions, one is clearly the easier choice; the other—which entails thinking ϯve moves ahead—is the more effective choice.  \nI wish somebody had taugh","cbCaieX5Mjojtrb6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieX5Mjojtrb6","pdf",6774563,271,"English","# Author’s Note\n## Introduction\n### Before Your First Move","[{\"question\":\"What does the author explain in the Author’s Note about the people in the book?\",\"answer\":\"The author states that individuals identified by first and last names are real, while those mentioned only by first name may be composite characters or have changed identifying details.
