The Chess Prodigy Who Mastered Learning Itself
In Washington Square Park, six-year-old Josh Waitzkin discovered chess through an encounter with an old man who prophetically wrote his name on a newspaper, saying "I'm gonna read about you someday." The park became Josh's unconventional classroom, where he learned from an eclectic mix of characters-homeless geniuses, gamblers, and eccentric artists who taught him psychological warfare and devastating attacks. Within months, he was defeating men who'd played for decades. When Bruce Pandolfini, a master-level chess teacher, approached Josh's parents, a transformative relationship began. Unlike typical instructors who force students into rigid molds, Bruce acted as a guide rather than an authority. His distinctive teaching method involved slowing Josh down through questions rather than dictating moves. They spent hours in thoughtful silence, allowing Josh's mind to develop naturally. Josh's parents wisely kept him from tournaments for a year, letting his relationship with chess develop around passion before competition. When he finally competed at age seven, he thrived under pressure while other children crumbled. His approach was distinctive-making games complex and working through chaos while opponents sought quick victories. His rating skyrocketed, and he soon became the highest-ranked player for his age, heading to the National Championship as the clear favorite. What made Josh's journey remarkable wasn't just his chess achievements but how his early experiences shaped his approach to learning-valuing creativity, psychological resilience, and deep engagement with process rather than just outcomes.
