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?
