I do not play chess, but I have always thought it is a game for intelligent people and it awakes my curiosity. My father tried to teach me how to play it when I was a kid, but I did not get hooked and now I regret it because it is a strategy game and, I see that strategy is basic in life. Therefore, when the young author Adriana Hernández Planillas showed me a book where she applied the chess techniques to life, I thought we had got it right we can be strategist of our life.

The chess board is a lucid representation of the game of life. There are achievements that need little and humble steps like the pawn’s; others need reliable and convinced steps like those of the queen. There are losses and setbacks but there are also changes in the strategy that makes us regain the control of the game, the power of our destiny, exactly like life. 64 squares of the board that offer un a vital lesson.

There is no need to be an expert to understand this book, it is simply a way to awake the strategist that all of us carry inside and it is probably asleep or off. If you put strategy in life, we are sure that the path can be bearable, neither easier nor more difficult, just more bearable, which is a lot given the society we are living. If we drive the rudder of life with strategy, everything flows better. Do you want to learn it?

After the great success of the Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit” we think that a book like this is a tool for both, the fans of this game and the ones that are not fans, because it will open their mind to encourage them to play or at least, learn the moves that apply to our daily life and will help us understand when it is necessary to turn in this game of life that does not stop challenging every day. Having tools prepared for these challenges is a great weapon to achieve that our life is as we hope and desire it to be. So, without any more words, let’s go! Let the game continue!
