A book by stalwart chess writer on an aspect
of chess that is quite common, but little is written about, swindling in chess.
In chess, a swindle is a ruse by which a player in a losing position tricks his
opponent, and thereby achieves a win or draw instead of the expected loss.
Renown chess writers Horowitz and Reinfeld observe that swindles, "though
ignored in virtually all chess books", "play an enormously important
role in over-the-board chess, and decide the fate of countless games".

Andrew Soltis, American chess journalist, says
swindles are not accidental or a matter of luck. Swindling is a skill. But
there has been almost nothing written about how to do it, how to make yourself
lucky in chess. Swindling means setting traps that exploit an opponent's over-confidence.
It means choosing the move that has the greatest chance of winning, rather than
the move that has the least chance of losing.

Soltis' new proposal
will explain to players of all levels how to do just that with plenty of
examples to explain along the way.
