Reinfeld wrote some good stuff. Along with the 1001 sacs mentioned earlier, I liked his Keres book> I wish he had written "1001 winning Zwischenzugs".
That would be a great book. |

 | | WannaBe: Don't remember where I read this one:
Confused A20 with B20, dropped queen on move 8. |

| Jun-22-15 | | parisattack: Interesting bio information on Reinfeld here from Bill Wall - http://www.chess.com/blog/billwall/... Does anyone have a comprehensive list of his privately published course, tournament and opening books (often referred to as the 'mimeos')? |

 | | sleepyirv: QOTD: <After we have paid our dutiful respects to such frigid virtues as calculation, foresight, self-control and the like, we always come back to the thought that speculative attack is the lifeblood of chess.> I don't even bother giving respect to calculation, foresight, and self-control. Speculative attack from the first move to the last! (This philosophy usually gets you to a last move quickly.) |
|
| Jan-27-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Fred Reinfeld.
I have a lot of your books. |

(No offense, Focus, just mixing it up a little) |

 | | Sally Simpson: Happy Birthday Fred.
Thank you for the Tarrasch book. An instructive writer (a teacher by trade) noting up the best games of player who played to instruct. You could hardly go wrong. This book more than any other gave me leg up's. I regret you did not see Fischer - Spassky '72. Your books were flying off the shelves as the world caught the chess disease. |

| Jan-27-16 | | kamagong24: my first book on chess was Attack and Counter Attack in Chess by Fred Reinfeld, the chess notation was still i guess the alphabetic or old school notation i.e. 1.P-K4 P-K5 2. N-KB3 N-QB3 3. B-PQB4 B-PQB5, and the first opening i learned from that book was Giuoco Piano Greco Variation, while the first 1. d4 opening i learned was the Nimzo-Indian Saemisch, then there was this opening in the book called Hamppe-Allgaier Gambit which is a Variation of the Vienna gambit which turned out to be a surprise opening played against Capablanca when he was still a kid, Capablanca - Corzo (1901), great memories!... Happy Birthday! |
|
| Jan-27-16 | | Granny O Doul: I'm struck by Fred's lifetime score here (+40-39=36). He knew the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and the eh of neither. Don't know that I'd call it MY first chess book, but "How to Win Chess Games Quickly" was the chess book we had around the house growing up. |
|
| Jan-28-16 | | kamagong24: <Granny O Doul> <How to Win Chess Games Quickly> i have that book too! im not sure if that was my second chess book or Bruce Pandolfini's Chess Openings Traps and Zaps! , one of the reasons why i bought the latter, was because it was the first time i've seen the algebraic notation! now i really cant remember which my second chess book was hahaha! “The Pin is mightier than the sword”

|
| Jan-27-17 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Fred Reinfeld.
I am almost afraid to count how many of your books I have! |
|
| Jan-27-17 | | Kafelnikov64: Reinfeld's books were also translated and published in Spain (Editorial Bruguera). I remember reading " My first book of chess" and the "1001..." in the 80s. Those books belonged to my father and had been published in the 60s. He still has them at his home (he is 78 years old now, so he must have bought them on his twenties). |
|
| Apr-14-17 | | Helios727: In Fred Reinfeld's book "1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations", position 808 has the following position with Black to move:
click for larger viewHe gives the winning line as 1... Ba6 2 Qxa6 Qd2 3 Ne2 Qe3+ 4 Kh1 Qf3+ 5 Bg2 Nef2+ 6 Kg1 Nh3+ 7 Bxh3 Qf2+ 8 Kh1 Qxh2#. However, Fritz 5.32 gives 2 Nc6 as its response of choice for White. I can see no clearly winning line for Black after that move. Is there one? |
