"Fool's Mate" tells the true stories of two traitors working different sides of the Cold War. One is an arrogant, lonely U.S. Army soldier serving in the highly secretive National Security Agency. The other is an ambitious KGB officer with access to the U.S.S.R.'s most sensitive documents. Both betray their countries, but their fates and motivations are very different. "Fool's Mate" reconstructs the Lipka investigation through the eyes of author John Whiteside, the FBI Special Agent who led the case from start to finish, telling a story as relevant today as it was in 1965. With the arrest of ten Russian illegals in 2010 and the 2013 release of classified National Security Agency documents by Edward Snowden, "Fool's Mate" reminds us just how vulnerable national security is to both foreign intelligence services and men like Lipka, willing to sell out their country from within.

Checkmates! We love them. This book shows 60 games using the Fool's Mate themes. Once you learn this checkmate skill, it helps you win fast. If the opportunity arises, there's no faster way to win. Fool's Mate is the shortest possible chess game. Black can win in two moves. White can win in three. Two-move games are rare, but Fool's Mate themes occur in many openings. The longest games here are 11 moves. This book is a short read with lots of diagrams. I illustrate the themes so that you can read the whole book quickly. Fool's Mate is a type of checkmate early in the game where the losing king is trapped on its original square. These mates come diagonally. Black mates the king on e1 from g3 or h4. White mates the king on e8 from h5 or g6. Look for a weakness when opponents move the f-pawn, and usually the g-pawn or h-pawn, early in the game. Players who lose a Fool's Mate are not fools. Most are simply less experienced at chess. Some are beginners. Others are less skilled at noticing tactics in advance. The rest play moves too fast to see everything (see Game 2). After the first two games, the rest are mine. For 50 years Tim Sawyer has played masters, experts, and class A players. But the games in this book were ones that he played vs club players, blitz opponents, simultaneous exhibitions, online contests, or games against chess engines. He has won 200 times with Fool's Mate themes. This book has 60 games.
