Look at the list of books he wrote on Wikipedia and try to figure out which one is closest to the title you have evidently misremembered.
Perhaps it was "How to win in the chess opening". The book is still available on Amazon. (You can look at the table of contents online to see if it is what you were looking for. It doesn't have the same selection of openings but it does have the "Chess movie" feature you mentioned.)
I have his "How to Win in the Chess Endings" on my shelf, but not listed in the wiki page.
Yes; Horowitz was a great chess player and chess author. (one of his books--Chess Openings: Theory and Practice--is actually my current avatar! I highly recommend this book to anyone serious about chess openings)
Here's a nice, and somewhat modern looking game that Horowitz won against GM Salo Flohr in the big USA - USSR Radio match in 1945
The 1945 Radio Match was pretty interesting, a total upset for the USA team. Each of the 10 US players was matched against one from the USSR team and they played 2 games apiece, one as White, one as Black.
Horowitz lost the first round game, but won his second game, the one given above. I can give Horowitz' annotation of the game if anyone is interested.
1st round, only "Hollywood" Herman Steiner won a game, beating Bondarevsky.
Albert Pinkus drew Lilienthal and Fine drew with Boleslavsky
Round 2, only Horowitz won a game, beating Flohr.
Steiner drew with Bondarevsky; Albert Pinkus drew Lilienthal; Abraham Kupchik drew against Vladimir Makogonov.
The match ended with the USSR winning 15½ points to USA's 4½.
Steiner, with his 1½ result, became the hero for the American team.
Botvinnik wrote: Now a few words about the best game of the match. I think if further analysis of the Horowitz-Flohr game shows that Black could not have materially improved his defense, the prize for the best game, offered by the magazine Chess in the USSR, should go to Master Horowitz.
Batgirl,
Any idea who the man and woman are watching the game shown in the photo? [ I like 2 alarm clocks tacked on a frame for the chess clock in the photo, someone should do a photo history of chess clocks ]
yes it is mary glass. a poor catholic child of appalachia.
( of course not, my dear mother owned but a deck of cards and a few plastic checkers and a few magazines she looked at over and over again...bless her )
Batgirl,
Any idea who the man and woman are watching the game shown in the photo?
The photo was taken during the 1944 U.S. Championship tournament (won by Albert Denker, followed by Fine, then Horowitz [Gisela Gresser winning the Women's Championship]) and published in "Chess Review," April 1944, p.8.
The unidentified spectators could be just about anybody.
the unidentified person is mary glass.
the beauty of the photo and conversation is the beauty of the jews in the world of chess and culture.
i am not a jew. i am just an old man from an appalachain white family.
the woman in the photo is not my mother mary glass.
i was just posting to say something.,
the woman in the photo is not my mother mary glass.
i was just posting to say something.
I figured that.
I'm Jewish like Israel Albert.
my respect for the jews is great.
i have played on other sites as "reinfeld" ( fred reinfeld who wrote chess items for new york newspapers and who wrote a few chess columns and books. i was a lawyer and the man i most respected as a lawyer was mervyn israel, for his kindness as a person, before his ability as a lawyer.
some desire to be the best.
some desire just to show goodness,.
I thought Horowitz was a piano player??
There were two Horowitz's
I despise lazy people who won't do my research for me.
Hello!
One of the best books on Openings and rationale behind was written by I A Horowitz. It was very similar to his 'How to win in the Chess Openings' with a walk through followed by a 'chess movie'.
This book covered openings such as The King's Gambit; Petroff's Defence and Danish Gambit. What is it called and how can I get a copy as I lost mine years ago!
