Chess provides tactical foundation - part II


Apparently New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi also feels that chess has helped him develop his tactics and decision-making...

The below video clip from the New York Times sheds some insight into how learning chess at an early age helped the Yankees skipper develop decision-making skills and foresight.




I think the tactics in chess are more comprable with those in soccer than in those with baseball, but it is interesting to hear about a similar way of thinking from a coach/manager in a different sport.
