Coordination of pieces



   The coordination of pieces is a basic concept of chess. Since you start playing, someone is insisting that your pieces must be coordinated, and even the most powerfull piece can not play alone,  the action of each piece should be within an overall plan.

    This idea so simple and easy that is, in practice, a little more difficult to implement, and this is one of the elements that sets players on different levels, being able to play all your pieces together towards a common goal is something you work seriously if you want to improve in the chess game.


   It's very typical the error to start playing  searching very specific and fast targets,  reaching a moment in which you realize that you have your pieces totally misplaced and unable to work together.

   Viewing this concept from the point of view of the company, the first ideas that come are on the coordination of the different people who work in a department, and going to a higher level, in the work of various departments to get a company target, in project management, marketing communications with sales forces... 

   This is a concept that we can easily relate to the work of any manager in a company, and whose domain leads professionals to an improvement in the performance of their work.


To ilustar this concept I have chosen two precious games played in  nineteenth century, one of them played by Napoleon Bonaparte
