Book Description
As organizations grow in volume and complexity, the demands on leadership change. The same old moves won't cut it any more. In Chess Not Checkers, Mark Miller tells the story of Blake Brown, newly appointed CEO of a company troubled by poor performance and low morale. Nothing Blake learned from his previous roles seems to help him deal with the issues he now faces. The problem, his new mentor points out, is Blake is playing the wrong game. The early days of an organization are like checkers: a quickly played game with mostly interchangeable pieces. Everybody, the leader included, does a little bit of everything; the pace is frenetic. But as the organization expands, you can't just keep jumping from activity to activity. You have to think strategically, plan ahead, and leverage every employee's specific talents—that's chess. Leaders who continue to play checkers when the name of the game is chess lose. On his journey, Blake learns four essential strategies from the game of chess that transform his leadership and his organization. The result: unprecedented performance!

Book Description
A well-written and easy-to-follow beginner's guide to Chess and Checkers by German-American chess and Go player Edward Lasker who FIDE awarded the title of International Master of Chess. In the first section, Lasker attempted to present the principles of chess in a simple way so that anyone can learn and enjoy it without memorizing more than the rules according to which the players move. In explaining the game of Checkers, which is the second part of the book, Lasker has tried to design general principles of strategy instead of offering a mere categorization of the examined lines of play, which the reader would have to remember in order to be able to compete with professionals. Content includes: Introduction The History of Chess the History of Checkers The Game of Chess- The Rules of the Game Elementary Tactics General Principles of Chess Strategy Illustrative Games Problems The Game of Checkers- The Rules of the Game Elementary Tactics The Five Fundamental Positions General Principles and Illustrative Games Problems

Book Description
It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a decade since One Jump Ahead: Challenging Human Supremacy at Checkers was published. I’m delighted to have the oppor- nity to update and expand the book. The ?rst edition ended on a sad note and that was re?ected in the writing. It is now eleven years later and the project has come to a satisfying conclusion. Since its inception, the checkers project has consumed eighteen years of my life— twenty if you count the pre-CHINOOK and post-solving work. It’s hard for me to believe that I actually stuck with it for that long. My wife, Steph, would probably have something witty to say about my obsessive behavior. Rereading the book after a decade was dif?cult for me. When I originally wrote One Jump Ahead, I vowed to be candid in my telling of the story. That meant being honest about what went right and what went wrong. I have been criticized for being hard on some of the characters. That may be so, but I hope everyone will agree that the person receiving the most criticism was, justi?ably, me. I tried to be balanced in the storytelling, re?ecting things as they really happened and not as some sanitized everyone-lived-happily-ever-after tale.
