Chess Traps Pitfalls And Swindles

From Simon & Schuster, Chess Traps is I.A. Horowitz's exploration of chess' pitfalls and swindes—both how to set them and how to avoid them.

This is a rich storehouse of Chess 'crimes.' Sometimes the villain is thwarted: more often he gets away with his nefarious deeds. But, in either event, the tales, and their telling, will prove to be instructive and vastly entertaining.

Israel Albert Horowitz was an American International Master of chess. In 1989 he was inducted into the World Chess Hall of Fame.
