Every chess player loves to attack the enemy King. Your goal is clear,
your thinking is concrete, your creativity is in gear and direct victory
is just around the corner. Few things in life are better than a
conducting a blistering King s attack! But how good are you actually at
attacking? Have you ever analysed your efforts? Looked at calculation
errors, missed chances and derailed efforts? Highly experienced chess
trainer Herman Grooten finds that many of his pupils overestimate their
attacking skills. Their fond memories of successful assaults often
obscure the fact that there was a lot of room for improvement in their
play. After the immense success of his award-winning classic Chess
Strategy for Club Players Herman Grooten has now written an equally
accessible primer on attacking chess. He teaches you how to spot
opportunities, exploit weaknesses, bring your forces to the frontline
and strike at the right moment. Grooten concentrates on training the
most valuable skills: visualizing, structuring, anticipating,
calculating, memorizing and other mental aspects. This is not just
another collection of useful thematic moves but a complete and highly
structured course of attacking techniques. With great and fresh
examples, clear explanations and many instructive exercises."
