Why read a book about learning from someone that quit and didn't learn and reach his potential How to not reach your potential should be name of the book
Comment from : @jaypark1015

she is obviously not on his level ha ha ha
Comment from : @liz6735

I think if Josh would stay playing chess, he may could make it to world champion or at least at the level of Levon Aronian, Fabiano Caruana, Hikaru Nakamura

Comment from : @michaelbates350

Both disciplines have many parallels
Comment from : @DukeofDominance

loved the movie
Comment from : @smallpotatoes989

I actually read his book and being a tournament player my self and having friends that are chess masters I came to that conclusion He was a talent no doubt but to compare him with Bobby Fisher was ridiculous I think
Comment from : @ChessStuff64

Martial arts and chess are certainly NOT "vastly different" disciplines!
Comment from : @sleepyeyeguy

You said that he didn't dominate the chess world and that he is not a grandmaster and I said that even if he is not a grandmaster he has beaten a lot of them :D
Comment from : @alydinamo10

International Master (a step down from Grandmaster) in the 2400-2600 USCF rating range usually

I forgot what I wrote It was 2 years ago LOL
Comment from : @ChessStuff64

What is an IM
Comment from : @alydinamo10

Even if he is or not a grandmaster(i don;t know to be honest) he has beaten a lot of them So he is the man
Comment from : @alydinamo10

Comment from : @b0ondockz

look i know im going to be critized by some losers who just like to talk shit but i dont fucking care!!THis guy may not have recieved the GM Rank but he was fucking bad assNot just anyone draws with garry kasparovJosh waitzkin did!!and he was a fucking kid
Comment from : @fear0fthedark2000

His most important attribute is his personal character
Comment from : @JeffersonDinedAlone

@extrememetal777 Thats very romantic, but there is no such thing as a genius who has success without study Waitzkin too memorized moves and patterns, and there is no GM without natural talent
Comment from : @scsteeldrums

Good Job Joshkeep moving ">"
Comment from : @TaiChiTex

Josh communicates so well and seems like such a nice, sincere guy I really enjoyed his chess lectures on the Chessmaster pc games What Josh calls the "art of learning" I would call metatheory of learning and its a topic few people discuss Rather, I think we're fixated on the mythos of "natural talent" But really, one can become good at anything if one sets one's mind to it What a great message for a book! I'll have to check it out Good luck to Josh in his next challenge
Comment from : @WhiteAbenaki

He did not dominated the chess world for 10 years He is not even a grandmaster The lady got it wrong
Comment from : @ChessStuff64

In fact after winning some 8 chess championships and 2 tai chi push hands world championships, he has moved on to a 3rd discipline, Jujutsu and aims to participate in competions in 2010/2011 I think So, I think his learning strategies do actually work
Comment from : @violinmusicfan

fantastic book Very practical and honest book Those who are critical of it should actually read it!
Comment from : @Everincon

Read the book, don't recommend it
Comment from : @jp1989at

I got the book last thursday, been reading it since, today is tuesday, and I'm loving the book
Comment from : @WiTeBoi

oh rly ? i disagree
Comment from : @notexactlyrocketscience

It's funny that they show him practicing brazilian jiu-jitsu while they talk about his Tai Chi successes :) (He also trains in bjj which is far more dynamic, not to mention way more practical than Tai Chi But that's another story)
Comment from : @vibovitold

He "lost the love" more like he "lost too many games" and couldn't cut it in the big leagues Most chess players rated above 2000 now that Waitzkin is no prodigyHe was a strong kid, but he's just a lower-than-average IM who could never become a GM (is he even an IM?)
Comment from : @Wikimedian

actually Josh is an IM
Comment from : @sleepyeyeguy

oi stupid josh isnt an IM hes a GM, hes an awsome dude good on you josh
Comment from : @jandlefob

damn thats him he looks different
Comment from : @nibols23

Waitzkin was either very close or already at GM level Had he continued in chess, it's a matter of time before he gets a GM title However, there are about 1000 GMs and 2500 IMs out there That's why we have the term superGM nowadays Well, I don't think Waitzkin was ever to come close to a superGM
Comment from : @lisonghao1983

hes not the single one international master out there i understand that that was his decision, but to leave chess implies either youre not loving chess anymore or you acknoledge IM is your peak and you cant go for GM title ( at least) strange, i was convinced GM in chess is easier to obtain these days anyway GM nowadays are much more frequest than in Bobby Fischer's time
Comment from : @braileanul

Waitzkin was never to become one of them Instead, with a writer father, who works for New York Times, it is much easier to make a decent living as a popular icon He knows this better than anyone From worldly perspective, He has every reason (and probably every right) to pursue the path he's taken
