ends the game – that’s an undeniable fact. Yet one sometimes gains
the impression that players who gleefully and unashamedly play for
the attack are treated as a joke by their colleagues. Launching a
successful attack is a skillful business that often demands great
creativity. And like most themes in chess, this is a skill that can
be honed and polished. In this second DVD in the Power Play series,
Grandmaster Daniel King looks at attacking play and asks, what
makes for a successful attack? At the end of the DVD you can test
your attacking and defensive skills by examining a series of
specially selected test positions. The Power Play series is
suitable for anyone looking to improve their chess, but also
provides ready-made lessons and exercises for a
trainer.
