In 1985 … at the age of 22, Garry Kasparov stunned the chess world when he defeated Anatoly Karpov … and was crowned the youngest ever, undisputed … World Chess Champion!
Kasparov continued to hold the title for an unbelievable 15 years … until he was finally unseated by Vladimir Kramnik in 2000.
How was Kasparov so successful … and for so long?
Bottom line … the strategy with which he approached the game was unmatched.
It’s been said Kasparov played the game 12 to 15 moves ahead of his opponent!
What does this have to with Match and Fable’s latest role?
Well … nothing really.
That said … we are looking for an individual who can apply a winning sales strategy to our client’s business … similar to how Kasparov approached a chess game!
