The article examines the parallels between the decision-making strategies employed in chess and those advocated in the field of neuroscience. The author argues that chess mirrors the process of eliminating unfavorable options to arrive at the most optimal choice, and that both chess and neuroscience emphasize the importance of simplifying choices to reduce decision fatigue. The article further suggests that making decisions earlier in the day when mental energy is high leads to more accurate outcomes, and that clarity in communication and strategy, whether in chess or persuasion, leads to greater success.
