Horowitz. Sixty two master games are presented. The reader is asked to guess the next move by the player of the white pieces. If he guesses correctly, he is awarded points. At the end of the game, his score is graded according to how many points he has earned. All the great grandmasters of chess, from Bobby Fischer on down, have used and have recommended the "Solitaire Chess" method to study and improve their play. This book presents a collection of 62 of the greatest attacking games ever played. Games by Fischer, Capablanca, Alekhine, Lasker, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Steinitz, Reti, Marshall, Pillsbury and almost all the other great masters are included here. The author, International Master I.A. Horowitz, provides notes to every game. In addition, the book has been expanded. All the games have been translated into algebraic notation, although the notes are in descriptive." ; Contents: Alekhine's legacy -- Notes on Alekhine vs. Pomar -- Fine fettle -- Notes on Fine vs Flohr -- Keeping the wolf from your door -- Notes on Reti vs Capablanca -- Maxims are for the birds -- Notes on Steinitz vs. Tchiforin -- Tarrasch the trenchant -- Notes on Tarrasch vs. Mieses -- Who is the potter, pray? -- Notes on Marshall vs. Spielmann -- Is this the system? -- Notes on Colle vs. Buerger -- Sacrifiical orgy -- Notes on Capablanca vs. Bogolyubov -- Spielmann outspielmanned -- Notes on Capablanca vs. Spielmann -- A pawn's worth -- Notes on Smyslov vs. Donner -- Invoking the past -- Notes on Szabo vs. Muhring -- A curious monster -- Notes on Alekhine vs. Girgorieff -- What happened to Mickey Mouse? -- Notes on Mikenas vs. Lebedew -- Double threat, double trouble -- Notes on Tartakover vs. Najdorf -- a star is confirmed -- Notes on Fischer vs. Olafsson -- The succulent years -- Notes on Denker vs. Fine -- When the invincible meets the immortal -- notes on Nimzovich vs. Spielmann -- The Catalan is out of the bag -- Notes on Szabo vs. Book -- Ah sweet mystery of Nimzovich -- Notes on Nimzovich vs. Behting -- Check to the miserable king! -- Notes on Reti vs. Tartakover -- A little steam for a long time mounts the pressure -- Notes on Rubinstein vs. Maroczy -- Exception to teh rule -- Notes on Pillsbury vs. Winaver -- No mere automatons these! -- Notes on Euwe vs, Rubinstein -- No moot question here! -- Notes on Mieses vs. Gottschall -- The bigger they come, the harder they fall! -- Notes on Spielmann vs. Reti -- Files on parade -- Notes on Spielmann vs. Rubinstein -- Unbalancing factors -- Notes on Botvinnik vs. Loewenfisch -- Nothing new, etc -- Notes on Lasker vs. Tarrasch -- Nimzovich the classicist -- Notes on Nimzovich vs. Gilg -- Spielmann outspieled -- Notes on Von Scheve vs. Spielmann -- What's in a name? -- Notes on Schlecter vs. Burn -- Sans voir et sans reproche -- Notes on Steinitz vs. Scott -- The play's the thing -- Notes on Szabo vs. Barcza -- Making it a "good Indian" - Notes on Donner vs. Trojanescu -- "Safety" pin clips swindle -- Notes on Capablanca vs. Marshall -- Who killed cock robin? -- Notes on Euwe vs. Bogolyubov -- An exchange of notes, or notes to you! -- Notes on Denker vs. Pinkus -- The exception tests the rule -- Notes on Pleci vs. Endzelins -- The queen pawn has many faces -- Notes onf Stahlberg vs. Sefc -- The flohr of yore -- Notes on Flohr vs. Ravinsky -- The perfect anomaly --m Notes on Janowski vs. Steinitz -- Burn fiddles while Marshall roams -- Notes on Marshall vs. Burn -- One good sacrifice deserves another -- Notes on Ravinsky vs. Panov -- White magic -- Notes on Euwe vs. Carls -- A day of Rest -- Notes on Fine vs. Winter -- When knights and chessplayers were bold -- Notes on Schiffers vs. Harmonist -- Ill fares the game, to hastening ills a prey -- Notes on Techman vs. Schlechter, etc, etc ; pencilings throughout, else G.
