Rudolf Spielmann's philosophy of play was this: whenever possible,
attacking chess! He was known as one of the greatest creative and
imaginative players of his day. Because of his style of play,
Spielmann continues to be relevant and is studied by players of
each new generation who want to hone the ability to execute
combinations and dictate the course of the game. The games
presented in this collection include only short games, where
Spielmann is victorious in 26 moves or less. Each of these
victories is an instructive lesson for anyone who wants to master
the secrets of attack, initiative and modern dynamic chess. About
