O knihe
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In chess, a swindle is a ruse by which a player in a losing position tricks his opponent, and thereby achieves a win or draw instead of the expected loss. It may also refer more generally to obtaining a win or draw from a clearly losing position. I. A. Horowitz and Fred Reinfeld distinguish among 'traps', 'pitfalls', and 'swindles'. In their terminology, a 'trap' refers to a situation where a player goes wrong through his own efforts. In a 'pitfall', the beneficiary of the pitfall plays an active role, creating a situation where a plausible move by the opponent will turn out badly. A 'swindle' is a pitfall adopted by a player who has a clearly lost game. Horowitz and Reinfeld observe that swindles, 'though ignored in virtually all chess books', 'play an enormously important role in over-the-board chess, and decide the fate of countless games'.
