Description / Mating the Castled King (Hardcover)

Every chess player loves to win with a devastating attack. But even beginners know the importance of early castling, so the most significant attacking strategies are those against a castled king.

In Mating the Castled King, Danny Gormally sheds light on this vital area of the game, arguing that pattern recognition is key to improvement. This book strips away the mystique surrounding successful attacking play, and identifies several recurring motifs which can be applied to specific pawn structures and scenarios.

Well-chosen model examples and test positions are complemented by the author’s lively writing style and original terminology. Clobber your opponents with the motifs such as the “Shotgun” and the “Tower of Terror”!

Danny Gormally is an English grandmaster with a peak rating of 2573, who is renowned for his attacking style.
