Exactly what the book title says， reviewing is so easy。Tons of commented example games。 It is complicated， not the book， but the attacking。Another classic chess book， this one will be looked at again and again later。

I think this book is really exceptional， as it achieves in many forms on what it promises。 Obviously， the complex topic of 'attacking the king' cannot be definitely expressed in a set number of rules。 There will always be exceptions。 However， the treatment in this book achieves in delivering certain intuitiveness based on numerous interesting examples and tips。 It certainly felt highly instructive to me。 It is a little outdated， therefore 4 stars IMO。 I think this book is really exceptional， as it achieves in many forms on what it promises。 Obviously， the complex topic of 'attacking the king' cannot be definitely expressed in a set number of rules。 There will always be exceptions。 However， the treatment in this book achieves in delivering certain intuitiveness based on numerous interesting examples and tips。 It certainly felt highly instructive to me。 It is a little outdated， therefore 4 stars IMO。 。。。more

I have basically annihilated people on lichess in under 20 moves because they are completely caught off guard by sacking my rook or my bishop or knight or whatever it takes to mate my opponent。 After going through many of these exercises and reading the excerpts via Chessable， I play completely differently now。

Indispensable for learning the basic attacking strategies and tactics against castled and uncastled kings。 Great chapter on the f7 and h7 bishop sacrifice attacks。

Too high up for me right now I think （I'm ~1600 USCF）。 I'll come back to it later and re-read it。 Too high up for me right now I think （I'm ~1600 USCF）。 I'll come back to it later and re-read it。 。。。more

It was a good book it showed me different variations of attacking in the game of chess， its very mindful that you study the tactics in the book so you can use them in real life。 I took my time to study the books variations and applyed it to my real life chess games and was able to out play 2 of my algebra teachers other then that it was a really good book for someone who is looking for aggressive play in chess I look forward to reading more of Vladimir Vukovics chess books to improve for the sch It was a good book it showed me different variations of attacking in the game of chess， its very mindful that you study the tactics in the book so you can use them in real life。 I took my time to study the books variations and applyed it to my real life chess games and was able to out play 2 of my algebra teachers other then that it was a really good book for someone who is looking for aggressive play in chess I look forward to reading more of Vladimir Vukovics chess books to improve for the scholastic chess tournament over the spring break。 。。。more

Read first 32 pages and chapter on mating patterns。 Found the combinations too speculative for my level。

Another "must have" for any chess player。This was a game changer for me。 My games were always too defensive and passive。 This book really helped me break out of this counter-productive mindset。 The part about attacking the uncastled King was especially instructive and I really think I have won many games based on the less I picked up here。My only complaint is that I wish there were more graphics/chess boards。 Otherwise though it is probably my single most favorite chess book out there。If you don Another "must have" for any chess player。This was a game changer for me。 My games were always too defensive and passive。 This book really helped me break out of this counter-productive mindset。 The part about attacking the uncastled King was especially instructive and I really think I have won many games based on the less I picked up here。My only complaint is that I wish there were more graphics/chess boards。 Otherwise though it is probably my single most favorite chess book out there。If you don't have it， definitely get it！ 。。。more

Even as a beginner I think I got alot out of this book， probably will continue to do so for a long time。 Re-reading every so often as you improve you get more insight into attacking chess detailed in this book。 Excellent and highly recommended。

I credit this book for helping me create some of my favorite loses - after reading this book I have been all about attacks and sacrifices。 Some of them have even worked！

A classic finally available in Algebraic notation！ This is THE treatise on attacking in chess。 However， defensive specialists should also study it， so that they know how their opponent is going to attempt to attack and how to prevent those attacks。 Weak squares， sacrifices， castled position。。。 it's all here。 A classic finally available in Algebraic notation！ This is THE treatise on attacking in chess。 However， defensive specialists should also study it， so that they know how their opponent is going to attempt to attack and how to prevent those attacks。 Weak squares， sacrifices， castled position。。。 it's all here。 。。。more

This is a great guide to the offensive， no matter what the state or stage of the game。 The best follow-up i can think of to josh waitzkin's "attacking chess"。 This is a great guide to the offensive， no matter what the state or stage of the game。 The best follow-up i can think of to josh waitzkin's "attacking chess"。 。。。more
