What if genius has been hiding in plain sight?
Driven by a desire to help his young son and an insatiable curiosity for how things work, Dan Shapiro took a deep dive into the chess world. He learned of magical players able to compete in dozens of games at once, blindfolded. He uncovered stunning tales of prodigies and the strategies that allowed one nation to dominate the game for half a century. In Decoding Genius, Dan unravels these mysteries and much more.
Whether you are the parent or grandparent of a chess player, a new player yourself, or simply chasing the secrets of high performers across disciplines, this book demonstrates the power of the chess mind. Dan illustrates why, for centuries, practically every culture in the world has recognized chess for its unique ability to develop intellect, promote creativity, and bring people together.
