Chess Through My Eyes: Life Lessons Hidden in 64 Squares is a creative work that lands differently, offering a unique perspective on how life on and off the chessboard mirror each other. Divided into three chapters that reflect the stages of the game – Opening Reflections , Middlegame Reflections , and Endgames of the Mind – it leads us through reflection, storytelling, and philosophy, connecting the author’s most memorable games – both brilliant victories and spectacular losses – with lessons about resilience, identity, altruism, and the human drive to achieve. Written conceptually, the tone evolves with the experience itself: moments of winning are explored with a lighter, more playful voice, while losses invite deeper maturity and insight. The book questions societal norms and expectations surrounding competition, the glorification of winning, and the endless chase for success. Written in a relatable and occasionally humorous style, this work moves beyond technical analysis to explore the human side of chess that so often remains neglected. While rooted in the chess world, Chess Through My Eyes speaks to anyone who has faced challenges, pressure, or ambition in their own field – a thoughtful journey across the 64 squares that mirrors the inner game we all play in life.
