On March 30, 1970, a wobbly foal named Secretariat was born on a farm in Virginia - but he was…

This is also the story of the one person who helped Secretariat the most - feeding him grain, bathing him, and chatting with him at dawn each day - his groom, Edward "Shorty" Sweat. Grades 5-8. 2007.

Bobby Orr redefined the defensive style of hockey - he was the first to infuse the defenseman position with offensive…

Some descriptions of violence and some strong language. 2011. (Extraordinary Canadians)

La vie et le jeu d'échecs ont-ils des points communs ? Pour Kasparov, c'est une évidence. Sur les 64 cases…
du célèbre jeu se jouent, en concentré, beaucoup de défis, de combats que nous affrontons aussi dans la vraie vie. Comment prenons-nous une décision aux échecs et dans la vie quotidienne ? Sait-on vraiment et précisément mesurer les dangers ? Comment peut-on bien évaluer et analyser la situation, son adversaire, son rival, sans le sous-estimer ni le surestimer ? Quelles sont les techniques pour rattraper une position qui dérape ? Comment lutter contre ses faiblesses et accentuer ses forces ? C'est en prenant conscience de ces questions et en travaillant régulièrement sur les fragilités de notre action que l'on peut très sensiblement améliorer son jeu... comme l'on peut considérablement améliorer son attitude dans la vie. Kasparov illustre sa conviction d'une multitude d'exemples issus de l'histoire des échecs. Et de son engagement politique en Russie - qu'il développe aussi dans ce livre -, il tire des leçons pour bâtir la stratégie la plus efficace dans la partie serrée et violente qu'il joue contre le régime de Vladimir Poutine. -- 4e de couv. Titre uniforme: How life imitates chess.
