What compels the son of a respected, middleclass, high school principal, a graduate of three law schools, a federal patent attorney, to turn to crime?

What makes the most promising young chess player of his generation steal cars, sell narcotics, hoodwink hundreds, blackmail celebrites, and do much, much worse?

It's all here, in Shady Side, the love, the hate, the crime, the mates.

A chronicle of America's most notorious chess master based on many of his own papers. Includes a detailed story of his life, his loves, his cons, and his many chess experiences in a 60+- year career,  along with 570 of his games (some with full notes).

Much US chess history and some excellent photos are a notable part of the book. This book won the Chess Café  "Book of the Year" award for 2000.
