Do you sometimes analyze inefficiently, and so get caught by tricks you could have foreseen?

If so, this book can help. Grandmaster Gallagher, a well-known attacking player, provides a plethora of ideas to help you root out the enemy king whenever you have the chance. He shows how to mate an exposed king, how to and what to sacrifice, and how to spot key weaknesses.

However, there is much more to attacking play than sacrifices and mating combinations. This book contains tips on how to develop your attack, and explains typical aggressive build-ups. Gallagher also reveals when it is wiser to go for a positional onslaught, with guidance on the queenside minority attack and other less violent attacking methods.
