I've almost bought that book several times. It looks like a very good companion to Vukovic.

I've read that book a couple of months ago. Basically it is divided into different attacing themes, like destroying the cover of a castled position, then gives example games as an explanation. Careful though, as it contains a lot of side variations. You may want to use a PC to save time.

Well, it added nothing to my game as it was beyond my understanding of chess- I need explanations more than examples 🙂

I love this book. LarryC is one of my favorite players, and this book is awesome. It's probably best suited for more experienced players who have a decent understanding of tactics and calculation. I bought the book a long time ago when I was too low rated to really grasp it, but I came back to it and loved it. I think it added most to my ability to just see a bunch of different attacking ideas, even if they don't work. It expands your horizons and makes you more creative. It will definitely help with your tactics too. I am gonna go back through it now that I was reminded I had it. Good buy. 😀

I have Aagaards two dvd's on attacking chess. They are veeery good! A little pricy though but they are great fun.😵

I didnt like it, its more of a game collection than a guide on attacking. Its more like an understanding chess move by move type thing.

Quite the opposite, actually.

Check out

www.jeremysilman.com. Larry C has his own attacking section in there, monthly articles I think. It's decent if you got some extra time.

His entire book is like that, he just shows some game with attacking and annotates, I was quite dissapointed.
