Book excerpt: "For anyone uncertain in social situations, Dr. Chris Beverly is the answer. His ability to view social interactions as a strategic game provides a great guide to help the rest of us navigate. The book is not "psychobabble", but rather a straight-forward approach to negotiating the difficulties that can arise in group dynamics." Kristen M. Wolfe, MBA Are you a social wolf or kangaroo? Social Chess takes an in-depth look at group interactions that occur in businesses, families, and friendships, and, using clever animal classifications, helps you discover who you really are by examining how you naturally deal with conflict. Dr. Christopher Beverly, a social scientist and psychology professor, spent three years reflecting on his life experiences both in group settings and relationships. This autobiographical study reviews: (1) The fact that relationships are best understood in a group context. (2) The five pieces on the "group chessboard". (3) The seven laws of group dynamics. This revolutionary behavioral guide will enrich your knowledge of social cultures, whether you want to better understand relationships in general or want to adapt more effectively to future social situations. "Chris Beverly's extraordinary gift for reading people and situations is reflected in this book. He expresses the complex dynamics of relationships and groups in a common sense format". Dr. Debbie Dodd, Author and Organization Consultant

Download or read book Reading Jean Jacques Rousseau through the Prism of Chess written by Florian Vauleon and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a period of forty years, Rousseau combined his devotion to writing with his enthusiasm for chess, and these two passions necessarily intertwined. Rousseau was able to transfer his power of concentration and the strict dialectics of his literary writings to his chess strategy. If Rousseau’s analytical skills influenced his attitude toward the game, then the game of chess inspired his logic and affected his discourse. Interpreted as a form of rationality, as a conceptual paradigm, the rules and strategies of chess accurately describe Rousseau’s ideas for social management, political power, and organization. Reading Jean-Jacques Rousseau through the Prism of Chess shows that Rousseau’s political theory, though allegedly inspired by Nature, found a perfect model in a game created by mankind; chess thus became a reference for his philosophical discourse and practice as well as a method to systematize Nature and organize society.
Download or read book Chess for Schools written by Richard James and published by Crown House Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Richard James, Chess for Schools: From simple strategy games to clubs and competitions is a great resource to help teachers encourage children to enjoy the benefits and challenges of the chess game Chess is a game of extraordinary excitement and beauty and all children should have the opportunity to experience it. Indeed, many claim that playing abstract strategy games such as chess provides a wide range of cognitive and social benefits- such as improvements in problem-solving ability and communication skills. However, Richard James argues that, because of the complexity of chess, most younger children would gain more benefit from simpler chess-based strategy games and incremental learning. In this practical handbook, Richard provides a wide range of games and puzzles based on these principles which are appropriate for primary schools and explains how teachers can identify children who would benefit from starting young. Richard also sets out how this approach can engage the whole community, including working with children with special needs, getting parents involved in learning and playing, and developing partnerships between primary and secondary schools. Chess for Schools shares the latest research into how children process information, combined with insights into international best practice in teaching chess to young children. The book demonstrates the transformative effect chess can have on older children, and how this can be promoted in secondary schools. Richard James offers valuable insights into the greater context of chess-playing, expressing how and why chess is a joy to so many worldwide andshares a series of resources and minigames for teachers to use with their learners. An ideal resource for primary and secondary school teachers wanting to introduce their pupils to chess.

Download or read book Chess Metaphors written by Diego Rasskin-Gutman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-02-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the moves of thirty-two chess pieces over sixty-four squares can help us understand the workings of the mind. When we play the ancient and noble game of chess, we grapple with ideas about honesty, deceitfulness, bravery, fear, aggression, beauty, and creativity, which echo (or allow us to depart from) the attitudes we take in our daily lives. Chess is an activity in which we deploy almost all our available cognitive resources; therefore, it makes an ideal laboratory for investigation into the workings of the mind. Indeed, research into artificial intelligence (AI) has used chess as a model for intelligent behavior since the 1950s. In Chess Metaphors, Diego Rasskin-Gutman explores fundamental questions about memory, thought, emotion, consciousness, and other cognitive processes through the game of chess, using the moves of thirty-two pieces over sixty-four squares to map the structural and functional organization of the brain. Rasskin-Gutman focuses on the cognitive task of problem solving, exploring it from the perspectives of both biology and AI. Examining AI researchers' efforts to program a computer that could beat a flesh-and-blood grandmaster (and win a world chess championship), he finds that the results fall short when compared to the truly creative nature of the human mind.

Download or read book Chess in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age written by Daniel E. O'Sullivan and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The game of chess was wildly popular in the Middle Ages, so much so that it became an important thought paradigm for thinkers and writers who utilized its vocabulary and imagery for commentaries on war, politics, love, and the social order. In this collection of essays, scholars investigate chess texts from numerous traditions – English, French, German, Latin, Persian, Spanish, Swedish, and Catalan – and argue that knowledge of chess is essential to understanding medieval culture. Such knowledge, however, cannot rely on the modern game, for today’s rules were not developed until the late fifteenth century. Only through familiarity with earlier incarnations of the game can one fully appreciate the full import of chess to medieval society. The careful scholarship contained in this volume provides not only insight into the significance of chess in medieval European culture but also opens up avenues of inquiry for future work in this rich field.
