What I hoped to convey with this course is not only concrete chess and psychological observations, but a universal method of learning that can stick with you far beyond your pursuits on the chess board. I have specifically used "Presence" and "Transitional Moments" to underscore my thesis, but, at least in my opinion, there are countless other elements of the chess experience which are harmoniously interwoven with the rest of our life's search. Thanks so much, Josh Waitzkin
