Mindful Chess: The Spiritual Journey of a Professional Chess Player

The Dutch Grandmaster Paul van der Sterren was a professional chess player for over twenty years. At the peak of his career, he qualified for the Candidate Matches for the World Championship - and was only four victories away from the World Title. When, later in life, he discovered vipassana meditation, he approached mindfulness with the same total devotion as he had brought to chess. In Mindful Chess, you will follow his journey and get his long and short answer to whether meditation or mindfulness will help your chess.
