Recently, Garry Kasparov was the special guest at the Making the Right Moves event, held in Bucharest. Kasparov is the greatest chess player in the world, a world champion for 15 consecutive years and the youngest world champion in the history of chess.

A few takeaways from his motivational talk:

• Chess is less about the game than about reinventing yourself as you play (looking for new solutions)
• It’s important to make decisions, but even more important to analyze the decisions you’ve made
• Tactics is knowing what to do when and where there is something to do
• The winner is the one who makes different mistakes. The one who loses is the one who makes the same mistake over and over
• The most important question in our lives: why?
• Strategy is the future of present decisions
• Tactics are concrete actions or opportunistic reactions to fulfill the strategy
• On artificial intelligence: Machines can’t ask questions, and in life everything starts with a question
• Hard work … is talent!
• Every move counts

For Banca Transilvania, it was an opportunity for live tweeting and for sharing these ideas.
