Product Description
This book is the original and much imitated Solitaire Chess by I.A. 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. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you can get this cheap -- buy it!, August 30, 1998
By jcsperson (Chapel Hill, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solitaire Chess (Paperback)
Bruce Pandolfini modeled his column in Chess Life after this little book and has improved on Horowitz' original idea. If you are used to tackling Pandolfini's column, this book will be a little disappointing. The explanations here are a little more simplistic and the grading system is more vague, but one can't help but learn from working hard at studying a game of chess. I got my copy for a quarter at a used book sale -- if you can find one for a few bucks -- buy it.
