Paul van der Sterren Libri

The Dutch Grandmaster Paul van der Sterren was a professional chess player for over twenty years. At the peak of his career, he qualified for the Candidate Matches for the World Championship - and was only four victories away from the World Title.

In Mindful Chess, you will follow his journey and get his long and short answer to whether meditation or mindfulness will help your chess.

It candidly explores his insecurities and the obstacles he encountered along the way, offering an authentic glimpse into the mind of a chess elite. This unique perspective highlights not just the triumphs but also the vulnerabilities inherent in striving for greatness in a competitive field.
