'Chess has taught me a great deal about life. As in life, in chess you can make all sorts of decisions. Here are five different moves or avenues. Which one should I take? If you can’t think ahead to the next several moves, it makes it more difficult to make a decision.
I once had a man tell me to pull over while I was in my car. At first I thought I knew him, but when he approached the car, I realized I didn’t. I cracked the window, and the man said, ‘Come on, get out of the car.’ In my mind, I quickly went through the scenarios. We could end up rolling in the street and getting hit by a car. He could have a gun. I could break my hand. I could go to jail for hitting someone I never met before. Once I rolled through all the options, there was only one real decision to make—roll up the window and drive away. That’s how chess affects your thinking. The most immediate move isn’t necessarily the best move.'

So Lewis directly made a choice that he ignored something. Not sure what his point is here.
