HOW TO READ MODERN CHESS OPENINGS MOVIE
As a side benefit, even if you are playing along with a board and chess set, life is made a bit easier by way of the movie frames as you can quickly be sure that you haven t made any errors at the board and easily correct any mistakes that you do make. The reader needs to visualize only a few moves between each snapshot, so it s a fairly simple act to follow along without having to resort to a board or computer program. These are chess games that are narrated both in text and images with the snapshots of the board displaying positions after every few moves of the players. An interesting part of this book is what Horowitz refers to as chess movies. I m not sure from when the term originated, but these days it really just describes a particular era in chess history rather than a proclamation of anything new to the chess world. Modern Ideas was published in 1953 so the term modern is somewhat relative in this case. Octavo (8" x 5") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers.
