How to Swindle in Chess
An international Grandmaster explores a common, but little written about, aspect of chess: swindling.In chess, a swindle is a ruse by which a player in a losing position tricks his opponent, thus achieving a win or draw. But despite the importance of the swindle, almost nothing has been written about how to do it. It's a skill that involves setting traps that exploit a challenger's overconfidence, or choosing a riskier move that results in victory rather than the expected loss.
Grandmaster and respected chess journalist Andrew Soltis explains just why swindles aren't accidental or a matter of luck, and shows players of all levels how they can become "swindlers," with plenty of examples along the way.
