Chess Grandmaster and three-time British Chess Champion Jonathan Rowson joins Trey Elling to discuss his book, THE MOVES THAT MATTER: A CHESS GRANDMASTER ON THE GAME OF LIFE. The conversation includes why chess is such a great metaphor for life, evolving from someone who is learning from failure to a person who is educating thru success, how teaching a child the game of chess can benefit him or her for life, whether computers are more of a positive or negative for chess, and more.
