One of the finest chess books ever written, the Art of Attack has been transcribed into algebraic notation for the first time. In this revised edition of the great classic, the author expounds both the basic principles and the most complex forms of attack on the King. Far from being a random or even magical event, the reader here discovers that the Kingside attack is the result of set preconditions – learn what these needed factors are, and you’ll know when to attack! A study of this masterpiece will add power and brilliance to any chess enthusiast’s play.

 “While many books have their 15 minutes of fame and then fade into oblivion, others endure, retaining their value and usefulness from one generation of chessplayers to the next. Such is the case with Vukovic’s Art of Attack in Chess. Do not be fooled into thinking that simply because the material in the book was written over three decades ago it is not worthy of careful study. In fact, it is difficult to imagine that this book would not help a player of almost any strength. So, what more can one say about one of the great chess books that has been reprinted a dozen times and that now appears in an expanded, improved edition? Thank you.”
