Garry Kasparov has been a vocal critic of Putin for over a decade, even leading the pro-democracy opposition in the 2008 Presidential election. Yet years of seeing his Cassandra-like prophecies about Putin's intentions fulfilled have left Kasparov with the realization of a darker truth: Putin's Russia, like ISIS or Al Qaeda, defines itself in opposition to the free countries of the world. Kasparov now urges a forceful stand - diplomatic and economic - against him. For as long as the world's powerful democracies continue to recognize and negotiate with Putin, he can maintain credibility in his home country. Argued with the force of Kasparov's world-class intelligence, conviction and hopes for his home country, Winter is Coming is an unmistakable call to action.

**DRAFT blurb only** Of all games of strategy, chess is the queen. Not even bridge has quite the kudos attached to chess; it is no coincidence that one of the central challenges of computer artificial intelligence has been to produce a program that is capable of defeating the best human players. A game of chess is a battle - a highly sophisticated one. Playing chess well involves taking best advantage of one's moments of advantage; analysing one's current position; realising that each game goes through a series of different phases which demand different strategies; an ability to see the board from the point of view of one's opponent; having a plan, yet retaining the flexibility to change it - just like life. Garry Kasparov's remarkable book shares with the reader what he has learnt about chess - and what he has learnt about life, through playing chess. It is an inspiring book - and a unique one.
One of the world's foremost chess players distills the lessons he has learned while playing the game to offer a definitive guide to the art of successful decision-making, covering such topics as how to evaluate opportunities, anticipate the future, and devise winning strategies, and incorporating keen business insights and personal reflections.
