Applying Business Methods to Chess, Preparation and Training
Chess is a game where profound strategic thinking must be allied with clever
short-term tactics. Most previous works on strategy focus on specific aspects of
chess strategy, but Lars Bo Hansens aims here are different. He creates a
framework in which the various elements can be systematically included and
organized - a framework that will help chess-players to think about chess
strategy during practical play. The theory of business strategy is extensively
developed, and Hansen adopts the novel approach of investigating whether any of
the vast amounts of research and modelling done for business purposes can be
applied in chess. He finds that there are indeed many useful parallels, and
focuses on how these ideas can be used to good effect by chess-players both in
their preparation and when making over-the-board decisions.
Lars Bo Hansen is a well-known grandmaster from Denmark. He has won
the Danish Championship on two occasions, and represented his country in four
Olympiads, winning a bronze medal for his individual performance in 1990. His
many tournament victories include first prize in the strong Copenhagen Open in
both 1997 and 2000. Away from the board, he teaches and lectures on business
studies, with a particular focus on marketing, organization and
strategy.
