Warren Buffet Plays Chess
My time is usually spent playing chess online (either on chess.com or lichess.org), reading and biking. There are deviations from my routine like doing the necessaries and other usual stuff.
What I found very interesting is that Warren Buffet plays chess. There is this part of the book about Buffet being competitive at playing chess found in Chapter 34 (Candy Harry) -
"Yet even after this encounter with his own mortality, he remained as fixated on business as ever. Retirement, in Buffet's special sense, meant to longer acting as a fiduciary. He would be investing as long as he was breathing. He could not help but be competitive - so much so that recently, when six-year-old Jonathan Brandt, son of his friends Henry and Roxanne Brandt, had taken him on in chess, Warren couldn't bear it when it looked as though he was losing. As the game neared its conclusion, he began Buffetting little Jonny until he won."
