Creative Chess

If you're ever lost a games to a master chess player, then you have probably asked yourself why, playing with same pieces and the same board, he was able to spot situations you didn't even see. This book is “creative” in that the author shows how to create brilliant moves in ordinary chess situations and how to turn them to your advantage. Mr. Reinfeld says that if 10,000 players were faced with the ordinary situations and positions shown in this book, only five would have the creative ability to recognize in them the opportunities to win.

This book shows not only how you can create opportunities to win , but, having the right positions it shows how to bring about the win. This gives you training in the finer points of chess play and opens your eves to a side of chess you may never have suspected existed.

Mr. Reinfeld began his career in chess as a boy of 10 and is today one of the world's great chess masters. Since retiring from active play a few years ago, he has continued to write brilliant analysis of the game for players of all levels and to teach chess at New York University.

Fred Reinfeld was a prolific author, having written or co-written well over 100 books.

Reinfeld began writing about chess in late 1932. His first book, co-authored with Isaac Kashdan, was an account of the Bled 1931 master tournament.

He became a charter writer for the new magazine Chess Review in 1933, and was a senior editor there by 1947.
