The Double Attack.
The Discovered Attack.It's a chess book for people who think they don’t like chess books. Spectacular chess moves produce the same sorts of satisfactions as the climactic moments of other great games: the slam dunk, the thirty-foot putt, the home run. In chess these moves are known as tactics. This book teaches them in detail. It assumes you know only how the pieces move and builds step-bystep from there. Every idea is illustrated with lots of examples, and every example is explained in plain language that describes a train of thought leading from a problem to its solution. Funny-looking notation is held to a minimum. You can treat each example as a puzzle and try to solve it before reading the explanation, or just read the explanations as you go. The object throughout is to provide a teaching tool that makes the secrets of chess easy for anyone to understand.
