Description
LEARN ATTACKING CHESS FROM THE BEST!
A Killer Guide to Attacking Chess provides an expert introduction to the main elements of good attacking chess. From the foundational concepts of Momentum and Include all the pieces in the attack, to more situational ideas such as Attacking the weakest square, Attacking the strongest square, Evolution/Revolution, the Killzone and much more. By breaking down attacking play into easily identifiable elements everyone can understand, we see that attacking play is not the result of a genius in action, but a consequence of positional factors at play. With this knowledge, and the chance to practise it with the sister volume Grandmaster Training Camp 2 – Attack! by GM Sam Shankland, true attacking greatness is within reach.
