"To be passive... is fatal to the beginner or medium player - such
players must be aggressive. He must attack, because only in that
way can he develop his imagination, which is a very important
thing." This quote comes, perhaps surprisingly, from Jose
Capablanca, a world champion far better known for his brilliant
strategic and positional play than his attacking prowess. This
emphasizes the fundamental importance of having a clear
understanding of how to build up and execute an attack. Every chess
player loves to attack. Directing one's forces towards the enemy
king, probing to create weaknesses and ultimately crashing through
with a brilliant sacrifice is always a thrilling experience.
However, attacking play must always be based on sound principles
and carried out in a forceful and logical manner. This is not
always a straightforward task. In this book, the highly experienced
author and grandmaster Neil McDonald guides the reader through all
the complexities of attacking play. Topics include: * Attacking a
king trapped in the centre. * Exploiting weaknesses to develop an
attack. * Preventing reinforcements from rescuing the king.
