How To Attack - Principles Of Training (Download)
by Karsten Muller
The inclination to attack rather than defend is a prevailing choice among most players, yet understanding the correct approach remains a crucial aspect of chess strategy. Grandmaster Dr. Karsten Müller has meticulously compiled a set of rules and motifs to guide players, simultaneously refining their intuition for exceptional cases.
Key topics covered include "All pieces in the attack," emphasizing the preservation of attacking potential; "The attacker refrains from exchanging attacking resources"; "Opening of attacking routes"; and exploration of "Typical attacking motifs" such as the Greek gift and the back rank mate, alongside the insight that "Bishops of opposite colors favor the attacker." Drawing inspiration from the games of the 8th World Champion, Mikhail Tal, Müller vividly illustrates how these attacks are initiated and concluded, emphasizing the high-risk, high-reward nature of such endeavors. The course does not neglect attacks in the endgame, providing a comprehensive exploration of this captivating aspect of chess. To engage readers actively, the author presents 20 typical attacking positions for them to solve, allowing them to showcase their prowess in mounting strategic attacks.
