Attacking is one of the most fun and important parts of chess!

There’s a thrill to checkmate the enemy King by bringing pieces, sacrificing at the right time, and forcing a checkmate.

Many think attacking is just that – throwing all your pieces at the enemy King and spotting tactics at the right time.

However, there’s a lot more to it. For instance, spotting mating tactics does help. But how will you reach a position from where you can see all such mating ideas?

When to start an attack?
When should you sacrifice material?
The different strategies to get your pieces into an attack.
How do you attack when the Kings are castled on the same side?
How to punish reckless attacks from your opponent?
