You should word on simple tactics, and not dropping pieces first.
Simple Attacking Plans, or The Art of Attack?

I post this knowing youre not going to listen. You are not ready for those books. Youre dropping pieces, and missing simple tactics.
I didn't ask for improvement advice. I study tactics daily and work on protecting my pieces so I don't drop them. Would it be wrong if I wanted to try attacking my opponent's king while working on these things? Pieces have to go somewhere, might as well know basic attacking plans. I'm sure you miss tactics too, but you don't need people to remind you this when you post unrelated questions to a forum.
Simple Attacking Plans isn't a super advanced book. It's a good beginning games collection focused on a specific theme. It makes a fine companion to studying tactics.
Thanks SilentKnight, that sounds like what I'm looking for!

I want to work on my attacking play - should I start with Simple Attacking Plans, or just jump into The Art of Attack?
Thanks
