Is there any evidence for the claim regarding Horowitz's strength in the first paragraph?

Yes. One is

ChessMetrics which calculates ratings a mroe accurate way, and it puts him as #10 in the world at his peak in 1943. That's definitely grandmaster strength. Bubba73 (talk), 16:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Books

[edit]

He also wrote: Chess Opening Traps (C) 1979 Coles Publishing Company Limited, Toronto - Canada (no ISBN listed)24.68.50.33 (talk) 07:30, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Garbage

[edit]

I removed the unsourced assertion that Horowitz didn't write any of his books, as well as the POV US/USSR story. The books section is gone, since he wrote a lot of books and we don't need to list every single one. I took out the sample game because it's available elsewhere.

A list of his books, and his most famous game, a brilliancy against Salo Flohr, are "Garbage"? Words fail me. Actually, I can think of a lot of words, but Wikipedia's rules about civility to other users constrain me from expressing them. Krakatoa (talk) 02:20, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism?
