Book Description
Checkmates! We love them. This book shows 60 games using the Fool's Mate themes. Once you learn this checkmate skill, it helps you win fast. If the opportunity arises, there's no faster way to win. Fool's Mate is the shortest possible chess game. Black can win in two moves. White can win in three. Two-move games are rare, but Fool's Mate themes occur in many openings. The longest games here are 11 moves. This book is a short read with lots of diagrams. I illustrate the themes so that you can read the whole book quickly. Fool's Mate is a type of checkmate early in the game where the losing king is trapped on its original square. These mates come diagonally. Black mates the king on e1 from g3 or h4. White mates the king on e8 from h5 or g6. Look for a weakness when opponents move the f-pawn, and usually the g-pawn or h-pawn, early in the game. Players who lose a Fool's Mate are not fools. Most are simply less experienced at chess. Some are beginners. Others are less skilled at noticing tactics in advance. The rest play moves too fast to see everything (see Game 2). After the first two games, the rest are mine. For 50 years Tim Sawyer has played masters, experts, and class A players. But the games in this book were ones that he played vs club players, blitz opponents, simultaneous exhibitions, online contests, or games against chess engines. He has won 200 times with Fool's Mate themes. This book has 60 games.

Book Description
Rafe ffoxe-Gentry, a snooty, upper-class Englishman working for GTG, a crooked multinational based in the mythical Australian state of Galahnia, is a rakish womaniser, whose nightly Got Laid Parades terminate abruptly when he falls for his Russian wifes beautiful and eccentrically brilliant young niece, Venetia. Put in charge of a visiting delegation of Russians negotiating a commercial agreement between GTG and the USSR, with Venetia as interpreter, Rafe finds the Soviet delegates more interested in booze, nightclubs, and women than in discussions. During negotiations in Singapore, the riotous behaviour of the sozzled Soviets leads to threatening Cold War complications, major disaster being narrowly averted by Venetias ingenuity. Rafe returns triumphantly home, only to find himself in even greater trouble as the situation becomes unexpectedly perilous, homicidal and dismayingly revelatory. His affair with Venetia, once wildly sexual and heart-breakingly romantic, now degenerates into a series of despairing battles between love and hate. In turn sensual, brutal, satirical and witty, this riotous black comedy depicts the greed, corruption and madness of the H-bomb eighties, and spares no one, including its madcap hero, in its scathing portrait of an era as unrestrained and vicious as it was violent and grasping.

Book Description
Star LaBranche shines an unflinching light on princess culture and childhood romantic expectations in her latest chapbook. Weaving themes of loneliness, confusion, and heartbreak through the narrative, her critical eye falls on everyone, including herself. Fool's Mate is many things, but it's not a happily ever after story.

Book Description
From Simon & Schuster, Chess Traps is I.A. Horowitz's exploration of chess' pitfalls and swindes—both how to set them and how to avoid them. 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.
