Re: Chess Puzzles
There was this wonderful chess book I read as a kid, I don't remember the author or the name, but it was a big (> 8.5x11) paperback about an inch thick.
It was pretty solid, but... It tended to assume consistent flawless play, and I think it's where I picked up the phrase, regarding an opening gambit, "The lost pawn cannot be regained. Black will lose in due course."
