Formation Attacks - Joel Johnson, 2007.pdf - _SZACHY.pdf - piewca

As a Chess Master who has spent many years playing

aggressive and attacking chess. I was quite dismayed

during a recent visit to my local bookstore. I was in search

of a book that covered a wide array of attacks against

many Pawn formations in an organized fashion. Needless

to say. my search came up empty. The books on

attacking fell short in many ways. Many of the books were

simply a small collection of attack games with no

instruction about the art of attacking or about the skills

required to become a great attacker. None of them

provided the reader with any reference information about

attacking or the weaknesses of various Pawn Formations.

None of them contained games with attacking themes like

the Traxler Variation of the Two Knights Defense. and the

Jack Young "Fishing Pole". None of them contained any

wild attacking ideas that can stream from opening

gambits such as the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. King's

Gambit. Scotch Gambit. Nakhmanson Gambit. etc. So. as

a result. I felt compelled to write the ultimate attack book.

and this is it!
