Product Description
Product Description
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.

A great book for its entertainment value. Full of "bolt out of the blue" swindles. However, you're not likely to encounter these types of positions in most of your games, so it is probably of limited instructional value. Descriptive notation.

I am ordering my third copy of "Chess Traps" since it was published in 1980. The first two have simply fallen apart from over use.
It is fascinating to see the most innocuous moves lead to such devastating conclusions.
"Traps" is instructive and yet is also an entertaining read for the chess player at any level.
