Overview
Checkmate 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 checkmate 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 checkmate 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.
