Summary: A good book but it's heavy reading
Review: A nice book. I learned that is is necessary to build up an attack from reading this book. Before ,if I had to attack, I used to rush into the attack at breakneck speed come hell or high water. However this book showed examples where you begin the attack, then rest for several moves in order to bulid up the attack, then attack again. Nice technique. I have incorporated this into my chess. The downside is that the book is a bit old (the examples are from the Capablanca and Alekhin era) and you have to work through the anotations. I would have liked more text explainations.

Summary: Millennium Chess Playing Boards
Review: After meeting the owner/inventor Mr. J. Bruce Gustin of Millennium Chess and playing his new game based on classical chess, this new game just introduced last year, I wanted to learn more. I joined the Millennium Team to help promote a great new product that plays just as a typical classic chess game would be. After reading this book it has helped us to put rules together to better play Millennium Chess. I highly recommend this book to all that need to understand the ways to move aggressively in any game of chess.
Thank you sincerely for a great book,
Mr. R. Sawart ceo/internet Millennium Chess

Summary: An Error-Filled Classic Requiring Hard Work
Review: Apparently, a lot of players weaker than I have found this book extremely helpful. I am a Class "A" player (1800+), and I found this book slow, tough going. It is quite helpful in teaching how to attack, but I personally found it difficult to see the forest for the trees: there are long variations in many positions, and often there are errors (duly pointed out by editor John Nunn). When the errors contradict the author's point, what are we to think? And even when they don't, the wealth of detail can often lead you away from the principles Vukovic is trying to illustrate. So, in my opinion, this is a good book, but to use it, one must:
1- work hard at going through all the variations, and then try to correlate them with the points the author is trying to make;
2- be willing to make allowances for the mistakes and errors.

Summary: Great book for intermediate players and above!
Review: As you can quickly realize by reading the other reviews about this book, it is one of the best books ever written on attacking chess. Nevertheless, I disagree with the people that claims that this is the first instruction book you should get. I would recommend those players with a rating below 1600 to go through other more basic tactics books first. A good book for this is Chess Tactics for the Tournament Player by Alburt and Palatnik. Once you master the basic tactics the Art of Attack in Chess will put you through to the next level.You will also love this book if you are one of those players that was disappointed after trying to study Think Like a Grandmaster by Kotov and realized that it was way too complicated for you. Hope this helps!

Summary: The Classic Manual of Attack
Review: First off, you should know that I am a Life-Master, and I teach chess for a living. The next thing you should know is that this is ... ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CHESS BOOK ON ATTACK ... that there is. I have heard several GM's and IM's say that this is one of the first books they make their student's get. (on tactics/attacking chess) This is the algebraic edition, all your weak excuses - based on descriptive notation - have been removed. Most/all of the errors in the original edition have been corrected as well. I recently did a survey on the Internet. I asked the people who responded to rate about 50 books in the following fashion: 1.) Not recommended. 2.) Recommended, but perhaps with some reservations. 3.) Highly recommended. EVERYONE WHO REPLIED TO THIS SURVEY ... INCLUDING ABOUT A DOZEN MASTERS! ... RATED THIS BOOK IN THE THIRD CATEGORY!!! (highly recommended) This book is simply written ... and logically laid out. Any beginner or lower-rated player should definitely get this book as their FIRST "How-To" book on attack. Need I say more?

Summary: Everything You Ever Needed On Attacking And More
Review: Have you stopped getting any better? Do your attacks always fail? If yes to either of these questions, then Art of Attack in Chess is the book for you. An extremely good book! This is a great book and will teach you everything you need to know on attacking. Whether it be attacking the un-castled king, castled king, fianchettoed castled king, it has it all! The section about the classic bishop sacrifice is amazing. This book also teaches a lot about castling. Whether you should castle king side or queen side, etc. The book is also fluttered with examples. Probably around 150-200. Some are full games (!) and others are just excerpts. I currently own the new edition that was edited by John Nunn. He went over all of Vukoviæ old annotations and added comments where he thought it was appropriate. He also changed the whole thing into Algebraic Notation and added 128 extra diagrams. If I had the old version of this book, the rating would probably be like a 7 or an 8. But this book still has a lot of good information. It is kind of advanced though, so I don't recommend it to beginners. Also once you own this book you must go over all the examples. It'll take some time, but it'll be worth it. I also suggest rereading this book from time to time (after having read more books of coarse). This will help clarify your understanding and help you remember what to do in certain situations. This book is relatively expensive considering what a small book it is ($ is what's printed on the book). But don't be fooled, even though it may seem kind of short, in reality it's loaded with information and will take a while to get the most out of it. So good luck! PROS: Teaches You Everything You Need to Know on Attacking Easy to Read format Hundreds of Examples and Diagrams CONS: Not for Beginners Slightly Expensive Summary: An amazing book that will teach you everything you need to know on attacking. If you know your chess and have got the cash, then get this book right now! IT WILL IMPROVE YOUR GAME!
