What is discussed

AskMonty AI editorial noteSource consulted:

Starting from a chess maxim he attributes to Emanuel Lasker, Montemagno encourages looking for alternatives even when a solution works. He says analysing his own games often reveals better moves than those he chose. He applies this to work: the aim is not chronic dissatisfaction, but asking another question before settling for a merely adequate result.

Key points

  • Reviewing games gives Marco a concrete example of alternatives missed on the first attempt.
  • He distinguishes constant dissatisfaction from a reasoned search for a better solution.
