Leadership Lesson From A Perfect Game Of Chess And Ecosystems

Another Perspective On Designing A Regenerative Legacy

I am truly awful at Chess.

Ask my wonderful Spouse — she’s thoroughly kicked my behind at it.

However, I find Chess to be a fascinating game for many different reasons.

It requires strategy, understanding your opponent, thinking ahead, and waiting to reveal moves at the perfect opportunity!

It is an amazing game.

However, there is one thing that truly struck me as fascinating in reading about Chess Theory earlier today.

What is considered a “Perfect Game”?

Many experts in the game believe that the “Perfect Game” of Chess ends in a Stalemate.

Both players have gotten their pieces and abilities to a point where, legally, another move cannot be made.

There is no Winner, and there is no Loser.

Only two players who have played their pieces to their best advantage to end the game within the constraints.

In some ways, you could say the game ends in Harmony.

Now, what makes this interesting is when we think about this from an Ecosystem Perspective.
