How chess can give you a better approach to personal money management & become a better investor
Fundamentally, what separates a good chess player from a great player is the ability to create strategies and to adapt them to changing circumstances. Similarly, successful investors don’t just know a few tricks for picking stocks or building a budget. Rather, building wealth requires the ability to observe and examine the financial world and know when to act, react, or sit still.
Rich As a King draws on the core strategies of grandmaster-level chess players and teaches you how their skills can guide you towards financial growth. The concepts addressed in the book include strategy, pattern recognition, efficiency, precision, and planning.

Excellent book.
We financial writers are always seeking new ways to explain the concept of “Spend less than you earn.” We’ve all shared thousands of personal stories and tortured just about every analogy. We look for extreme early retirement, and even for extreme getting-out-of-debt. We keep doing it because somewhere among hundreds of personal-finance books, you’ll find one that resonates with you.
For chess players, this is the one.
The book is unusually detailed, with extraordinary organization and specific recommendations. This is more than just finances with a chess theme– the authors start with four chapters of strategy before digging into specific tactics. Each chapter begins with chess quotes and stories (from both authors) and then shows the financial aspects of each situation. The book is written for chess players who are ready to take control of their finances. Just as every chess player had to learn the game before they were ready for their first tournament, this book shows you how to take control of your personal finances with the same skills that you’ve learned for controlling a chess board.
If you’re still wondering whether the book is right for you, take a look at the RichAsAKing site and its podcasts. The authors are not just using a cute theme to sell a book– they’re serious about the similarities between chess and personal finance. If you know how to handle the chess part, they’ll teach you how to apply your talents and newly developed skills to the financial part.
