Chess in Hours for the Life of Fredthebear!
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

Chess in an Hour was written for beginners by American champion Frank J. Marshall and later revised by Irving Chernev, who added vital supplemental information. The revised version instructs the moves and rules of chess, as well as the three phases of a chess game: Opening, Middlegame, and Endgame. It probably takes longer than one hour to comprehend!

This little book gets straight to the point (dives into a few miniatures, grandmaster combinations, and basic pawn endings). Fredthebear thinks of it more as a training book perhaps best used as a follow-up or refresher for those who already know the moves of chess. It might have too many short cuts or too tactically challenging for the self-taught student. Chess in an Hour has the briefest explanations possible, probably best read after a Fred Reinfeld/I.A. Horowitz introductory selection like "First Book of Chess" or "Beginners Picture Guide to Chess." These are all written in the older English Descriptive notation, but the material is spot on.

The collection of games herein has strayed off course, ballooned way beyond those in the original book. The intent is to be of additional reference value. At some point, FTB will go back and identify the games actually in the book.

Let's back up another step. "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" is an important first book on check and checkmates. Fredthebear feels that Fischer's book is longer, but simpler in nature than Marshall's book. If the student does not understand the three responses to check and back rank checkmates as explained by Fischer, then there's no point tackling additional topics like Marshall and Chernev do. Check and checkmate understanding should be mastered first as Fischer drills over and over and over and over and over. Fischer's book is so simple that it uses arrows and stars instead of notation. It is ideal for the self-taught student.

Do purchase the expanded, revised version of Chess in an Hour, with Chernev's supplemental information. (Both versions are out-of-print). However, Marshall's original version has a very unique description that explains how the subtle design of the Staunton chess pieces actually indicate how each piece moves. For example, did you know the queen's crown has exactly eight points indicating she can move in eight different directions? Marshall's book has it's own flavor (some of which is lost in the revision)!

Sight under construction. Most games herein thus far are supplements to those in the book and will be deleted or rearranged at some point.

My Forking Knight's Mare
Gracefully over the squares, as a blonde or a brunette, she makes moves that not even a queen can imitate. Always active and taking the initiative,
she likes to fork.
She does it across the board,
taking with ease not only pawns, but also kings, and a bad bishop or two.
Sometimes she feels like making
quiet moves,
at other times, she adopts romantic moods,
and makes great sacrifices.
But, being hers a zero-sum game,
she often forks just out of spite.
An expert at prophylaxis, she can be a swindler, and utter threats,
skewering men to make some gains.
Playing with her risks a conundrum,
and also catching Kotov's syndrome.
Nonetheless, despite having been trampled
by her strutting ways
my trust in her remains,
unwavering,
until the endgame.

The Dog That Dropped The Substance For The Shadow

This world is full of shadow-chasers,
Most easily deceived.
Should I enumerate these racers,
I should not be believed.
I send them all to Aesop's dog,
Which, crossing water on a log,
Espied the meat he bore, below;
To seize its image, let it go;
Plunged in; to reach the shore was glad,
With neither what he hoped, nor what he'd had.
