Do you know any way to improve your attacking game?
I am currently reading Vukovic Art of Attack but I am not enjoying too much...trying hard to finish it...
I have discovered that, even I am pretty decent in tactics(I improved it with exercises) I am somehow pathetic in playing attacking chess...that kind of chess where you are a pawn(or so) down but you have compensation(?!)...
I am a 1.d4 positional player and even I usually play 2. c4 I know the lines where the opponent accept the pawn and I am most afraid of them...
Getting stronger in the latest years and being a better tactical player, made me willing to play also sharp gambits, but I somehow collapse in trying maybe to get too fast and hard my material back...or I do not know where...
any advice?
