THE COMPLETE CHESS SWINDLER - DAVID SMERDON KAR...

Chess is a cruel game. We all know that feeling when your position has gone awry and everything
seems hopeless. You feel like resigning. But don't give up! This is precisely the moment to
switch to swindle mode. Master the art of provoking errors and you will be able to turn the
tables and escape with a draw - or sometimes even steal the full point! Swindling is a skill
that can be trained. In this book  David Smerdon shows how you can use tricks from psychology
to marshal hidden resources and exploit your opponent's biases. In a lost position  your best
practical chance often lies not in what the computer recommends  but in playing your opponent.
With an abundance of eye-popping examples and training exercises  Smerdon identifies the four
best friends of every chess swindler: your opponent's impatience  their hubris  their fear  and
their need to stay in control. You'll also learn about such cunning swindling motifs as the
Trojan Horse  the decoy trap  the berserk attack  and 'window-ledging'. So  come and join the
Swindlers' Club  become a great escape artist and dramatically improve your results. In this
instructive and wildly entertaining guide  Smerdon shows you how.
