With tongue in cheek and laughter aforethought, Jerry Sohl takes
his readers on a merry romp through all the deceits and tricks of
one-upmanship as it is practiced in the game of chess. Drawing from
his own experiences, he sets out in amusing detail a host of
put-offs, come-ons, psychological maneuverings, lures, and frauds
to accomplish checkmate. All illustrated with drawings by artist
Roy Schlemme. The author's inventiveness is limitless. All kinds of
ploys are carefully described: the amazing effectiveness of reverse
polarity; adopting some of Bobby Fischer's tactics; the Freudian
gambit; the Blencher; the Hassled Castle; befuddling rule fanatics;
talking your way to victory; coffeehouse counter-gambits; when and
how to lose; advanced duplicity; and chess of the last resort.
