Stretch

Yesterday, I attended an event on a new book from a Rice business school professor called Stretch.

There was a nice panel discussion that was also posted to Facebook live.

The panel featured:

Brené Brown (researcher, writer, and entrepreneur)
Lynn Laverty Elsenhans (Former Chairman and CEO Sunoco)
Mike Feinberg (co-founder of KIPP charter schools)
Mosheh Oinounou (Executive Producer, CBSN)
Brock Wagner (founder, Saint Arnold Brewing Company)

I couldn't help but think how this applies to chess. On the board, do you think about using your maximum resources? Are you using you stretching yourself as a chess player? Or are you chasing others?

We often possess the necessary resources to improve at chess, but we fail to use them. For me, this would mean more time investment studying and strategically choosing tournaments. What does it mean for you? How can you improve your effectiveness?
