Strategies for the game of life

During the pandemic chess has become incredibly popular. Elisabeth Paehtz, Germany’s unchallenged leading chess champion for 17 years, is excited about this resurgence. She played her first game of chess when she was five years old, starting her suc- cessful career which lead to her becoming number 13 of the best chess players in the world. In 2021 she was the first German woman to be awarded her third Grandmaster honours. Asking herself where this un- wavering fascination with chess originates, she tells of international, people-connecting friendships, wins and losses, a fight for equality in a male dominated sport and the strategies that are not only applicable when it comes to the Game of Kings, but also in the game called life.
