| Checkmate ends the game – that’s an undeniable fact. Yet one
sometimes gains the impression that players who gleefully and
unashamedly play for the attack are treated as a joke by their
colleagues. Launching a successful attack is a skillful business that
often demands great creativity. And like most themes in chess, this is
a skill that can be honed and polished. In this second DVD in the Power
Play series, Grandmaster Daniel King looks at attacking play and asks,
what makes for a successful attack? At the end of the DVD you can test
your attacking and defensive skills by examining a series of specially
selected test positions. The Power Play series is suitable for anyone
looking to improve their chess, but also provides ready-made lessons
and exercises for a trainer.
Grandmaster Daniel King has been a professional chess
player for more than 20 years. During that time he has represented his

achieve their potential. Besides his chess career, he has built up a
reputation as a commentator on television, radio and the internet. He
is also an award-winning author of more than 15 books.
