The old masters of dealt only with the static features of the positional rules of chess. But these are insufficient to explain the basics of chess. The problem is that chess, like in other sciences, has undergone a dynamic revolution, but chess literature doesn't yet reflect it. In this major work Aagaard accessibly explains the rules of attack (the exploitation of a dynamic advantage), balanced between understandable examples, and deep analysis. Five years in the making, this book deals with weak kings, sacrifices, various minor attacking themes, intuitive sacrifices, opposite castling, modern king hunts, and enduring initiative.
