The Art of Attack: Vladimir Vukovic, second edition is a classic chess book on one of the game’s most important practical themes: attacking the king. This second, revised and expanded edition is presented in algebraic notation, making it easier to read for today’s player. It is aimed at readers who want a clearer understanding of attacking play and a more deliberate way to build initiative.
What the book covers
Written by the Yugoslav international master Vladimir Vukovic, the book examines a wide range of attacking ideas, from the most direct motifs to more complex positions that require deeper understanding. It does not stop at simple patterns. Instead, it shows when an attack has positional foundations, how to prepare it move by move, and when it is time to switch to tactical action.
This is one of the best-known titles in chess literature and has long been valued as a source of practical knowledge about offensive play. Careful study helps organise your thinking about attack and supports both master-game analysis and your own tournament practice.
