«Mating the Castled King», de Danny Gormally (tapa dura)

Mating the Castled King by Danny Gormally is a hardcover chess book in English about one of the most important attacking themes in chess: how to build a successful assault on a king after castling.

What the book covers

Rather than treating attacking play as something mysterious or purely intuitive, Danny Gormally breaks it down into recurring motifs you can recognise over the board. The book explains the most common attacking patterns against a castled king and shows how they arise in real positions, especially through typical pawn structures and piece placements.

The approach is practical throughout. Alongside carefully chosen model games, you will also find test positions that let you check your understanding as you go. That makes it a useful study book for players who want to sharpen their attacking technique, improve their tactical awareness and spot opportunities more quickly in practical play.
