International Master Al Horowitz goes through every major chess opening system and provides just one line of play for White, one line of play for Black, and the reason for each move by White or Black. How to Win in the Chess Openings will not show the reader how to win every game, but it will provide an easy route which will enable the player to get a reasonable, playable position out of the opening with good winning chances, without having to memorize a bunch of opening lines.

From Simon & Schuster, Chess Traps is I.A. Horowitz's exploration of chess' pitfalls and swindes-both how to set them and how to avoid them. This is a rich storehouse of Chess 'crimes.' Sometimes the villain is thwarted: more often he gets away with his nefarious deeds. But, in either event, the tales, and their telling, will prove to be instructive and vastly entertaining.

This is a new release of the original 1954 edition.
