Acerca de esta escucha
The game of chess has long be used a microcosm for everything from international politics to war. In The Morals of Chess, an essay originally published in The Columbian Magazine in 1786, Benjamin Franklin, American founding father, polymath, and thinker, tackles this intricate game and likens it to life itself. Franklin discusses what he believes to be key virtues one must possess to be happy, successful, and productive in life, and illustrates these virtues, such a patience and circumspection, within the context of the game of chess.

Historia
Why has one game, alone among the thousands of games invented and played throughout human history, not only survived but thrived within every culture it has touched? What is it about its 32 figurative pieces, moving about its 64 black and white squares according to very simple rules, that has captivated people for nearly 1,500 years? Why has it driven some of its greatest players into paranoia and madness, and yet is hailed as a remarkably powerful intellectual tool?

5 stars for Ben Franklin
Ben you old dog, you really know how to oral in Moral. I wonder if I could have beat Ben Franklin in a chess match? I think so, notice that he says that the other player must be patient without causing any distractions- I surmise that he was a rather slow and tedious player- well I would bust out my chess timer on ol Ben and see what he thought of the incessant tic tic tic counting away his indecisiveness. Are we still having fun old fella?

Short and somewhat sweet
It's a ten minute audio book, so as would be expected there's no mastery of the subject matter to be found inside. It is mostly about how to have manors while playing the game.
Being as Ben wrote it, the writings do have important meanings in more than the simple the context of the game.
More-less, the theme of this book is "make friends with who you play with."
