Synopsis
In 2005 Garry Kasparov, the highest-rated chess player of all time, retired from "the game of kings" to take part in a much more complex and dangerous endeavor: Russian politics. Kasparov now spearheads the United Civil Front, an organization dedicated to preserving democracy in Russia and staving off the increasingly totalitarian regime of Vladimir Putin. His book HOW LIFE IMITATES CHESS is a combination of autobiography, self-help book, and political manifesto. It identifies tactics and techniques Kasparov learned from chess and show how those same strategies are utilized in the real world--these moves will need to be played to perfection if Kasparov's political gambit can succeed. This book should be of interest to anyone who loves chess or cares about the future of Russia.

Industry Reviews
"[T]his coded manifesto of a book is only the latest sign that [Kasparov's] courage at the chessboard has not deserted him in the political arena."
