Ganar a las cartas no es sólo una cuestión de buena suerte, ni tampoco se cifra todo en la experiencia, la intuición o la astucia: la clave consiste en conocer y dominar la técnica del juego, sus diversas posibilidades y soluciones. El perdedor comete errores; el ganador, no. En las paginas de esta obra se podran encontrar las tecnicas mas adecuadas para cada juego, desde aquellos que tienen un caracter eminentemente popular (el tute, la brisca, la escoba, los tres sietes, etc.) hasta los que pudieramos llamar de sociedad (el remigio, la canasta, la escala a cuarenta, etc.). En el libro tambien tienen cabida los juegos de azar, como el poquer, y otros menos conocidos (bacara, ecarte, boston, etc.). En definitiva, una obra imprescindible para los aficionados a las cartas que no solo enseña a jugar, sino que enseña a ganar

El mejor ajedrecista de la historia nos enseña a ver la vida como un juego de estrategia.Garry Kasparov, el gran maestro del tablero, explica cómo las soluciones a los problemas cotidianos requieren de las mismas artes y tecnicas que el ajedrez: conocimiento, preparacion, estrategia y calculo de las variantes.En el ajedrez, como en la realidad, es necesario analizar, descartar, organizar el pensamiento, comprender las acciones que pueden ocurrir, tener soluciones preparadas, saber concluir y estudiar todas las variantes posibles, ser capaz de hacer de la necesidad una virtud y entender las facultades del adversario para darles la vuelta en beneficio propio. Para ello es imprescindible contar con una ferrea disciplina, intuicion y logica que nos faciliten el acercamiento a los problemas comunes. Igual que en la vida diaria, el conocimiento de la situacion nos ayuda a vivir y a afrontar los retos con perspectivas de exito.Escrito desde el sentido comun y la profunda inteligencia estrategica desarrollada durante la larga y brillante carrera del autor, este libro muestra la manera de avanzar paso a paso hacia el objetivo final; tambien como convertir una derrota en una futura victoria, como dar la vuelta a una situacion comprometida y como prepararse para los grandes desafios, siempre partiendo de situaciones reales de la dilatada experiencia de Kasparov y extrayendo las lecciones mas pertinentes.
