# This club is for founders & VCs past, present & future.
Calling local chess lovers to play.
Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, join us for friendly matches and engaging discussions.
Garry Kasparov, Grandmaster and World Chess Champion, shares how he combined disruptive and disciplined approaches to achieve success in chess – a result of calculation, foresight, and intuition.
His book How Life Imitates Chess is a must-read for chess players and entrepreneurs alike.
Kasparov highlights long-term strategy, short-term gains, creativity in chess's ‘middle game’, and the importance of decision-making at any stage of the game.
