According to Ms. Yifan: "Chess and investing are both driven by logic and strategy, but also emotions play a role. Money is something we all need to survive, something of our daily lives, but we don't learn a lot about it in school and often not even at university. Learning to take care of your money and investments is important, even for chess players.”
