About the Author

Fred Reinfeld's timeless Attack and Counterattack in Chess starts with the basic premise that White plays to build on the natural initiative that is inherent in having the first move, while Black plays to sap White's divine right to this initiative, only to take it over the moment it is possible. mostrar mais The book is neatly divided into two sections: How White manages to make good use of his right to the first move by taking advantage of typical mistakes by Black, and how Black succeeds in challenging that right and taking over the initiative by jumping on blunders by White. mostrar menos

Reinfeld writes about the trappers and the West with the same alacrity as he does of chess; his balanced portrayal of the great region between the Mississippi and the Pacific Ocean should prove the antidote to the many sentimental and eulogistic biographies of the mountain men, the novels and the non-fiction that have only aggrandized our efforts in the West without placing them in proper historical perspective. Beginning with the view of the continent that was current when first settlers were offered land grants, the text moves quickly into the various French, Spanish and English trading expeditions that slowly opened up the vast territory that was to be acquired by the U. S. in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase. The Indians who already inhabited it are considered next and here Mr. Reinfeld's analysis of their general psychology and the problems inevitably created in dealing with Whites is excellent. Astor's grand plan in the beaver trade, the exploratory expeditions started by Lewis and Clark, the function of the mountain men as advance scouts who did not realize what their journeys meant- all are given play on a full but well defined stage. It is through the specific examples of action and interaction that the significance of the opening of the West takes form.… (mais)

Este libro proporciona al jugador cientos de ejemplos con soluciones que explican la mayoría de los problemas prácticos que se presentan al ajedrecista. La norma del libro es: "cómo encontrar el mejor movimiento, o mejores movimientos, en una situación determinada". Con este fin, Fred Reinfeld nos presenta 488 partidas jugadas por grandes maestros valiéndose de otros tantos diagramas con su texto explicativo, además de la clave que determina la victoria. De esta forma, el lector podrá seguir los movimientos y las notas con la seguridad de que aprenderá mucho con el estudio de cada ejemplo. El desarrollo de estas partidas abarca los aspectos siguientes:

- el rey vulnerable;
- el enroque vulnerable;
- piezas vulnerables;
- amenazas;
- trampas;
- soluciones.
