About this ebook
• Learn the calculation secrets of the world’s best attacking players
• First book from one of the UK’s biggest chess stars
• Illustrated with a wealth of examples from top-level chess games
This first book from one of the UK’s top grandmasters is a penetrating and detailed (though engaging and friendly) study of typical games played by the most exciting chess players of the modern era, those that are renowned as ‘attacking’ players, from Mikhail Tal, pioneering hero of the ultra-modern attacking style, to Magnus Carlsen, teenage leader of the ‘new wave’ of deadly attackers, via the immortal Bobby Fischer, ‘boa constrictor’ Anatoly Karpov and ‘King Garry’ Kasparov. The author has tried to get into the heads of these stellar players, revealing the secrets of how they choose their decisive moves and succeed in delivering such awesome attacks.
This inspiring book encourages you to play more imaginatively and copy the grandmasters’ thought processes in your own game.
