Sam Shankland won the 2018 US Championship and has won both individual and team gold medals at Chess Olympiads. An acclaimed author, his previous books for Quality Chess have received glowing praise for presenting deep insights in an easy-to-understand manner.

 

"Usefully, the material is split into the exact same chapters as those seen in Aagaard’s book( A Killer Guide to Attacking Chess ), giving the twinned project perfect continuity. What makes this volume very different to numerous other training books is the way in which Shankland shares his thoughts alongside the solutions. What did hesee? What did he miss? 
....The books work very well as a pair. The
first one( A Killer Guide to Attacking Chess ) is clearly more accessible than the second, as was clearly the intention and, as always, readers will need to put in a lot of hard
word to reap the benefits." - Sean Marsh
