Attacking Manual 2We have just received from Quality Chess: Attacking Manual 2.

Two years after his first Attacking Manual, Jacob Aagaard is back on the attack with this second volume. It covers the rules of attack, explained through understandable examples, and deep but clear analysis.

Volume One dealt with the laws of dynamics. Its successor deals with weak kings, sacrifices, various minor attacking themes, intuitive sacrifices, opposite castling, modern king hunts, and enduring initiative.

Aagaard discusses items such as destroying the defensive structure, the pin, overloading, intuitive sacrifices and included diagram previews to get more involved to the subject before reading the subsequent chapters. "This double-volume work has been seven years in the making; with the publication of the revised and expanded Volume One and this volume, I have fulfilled a major personal ambition." -- Jacob Aagaard If you want to improve your attacking skills, just click here.
