Daniel King: Power Play 2 – Attacking the King
Review by Ralph Deline
“Attacking is a skill we can polish, we can hone, we can practise, by looking at really typical examples.” – Daniel King

Who is Daniel King? He is a chess grandmaster. He has been a professional chess player for over 25 years, representing his country on numerous occasions. In addition, he is a games consultant, television presenter, live commentator, freelance journalist, an award-winning author of more than 15 books and he has distinguished himself as a coach, helping many of England’s younger generation to achieve their potential.

As most chess players will tell you, how or where to attack an enemy king is not always obvious, and most of the time your opponent doesn’t cooperate to make your task any easier. However, if you know what to look for and what you must do, you have a much greater chance of ripping apart the enemy castled position and forcing a resignation or checkmate. Daniel King provides the necessary knowledge on this DVD.

There are 28 instructional video clips with games and quizzes demonstrating methods to attack the castled king. This is the next best thing to having an instructor or coach at your elbow, helping you comprehend the material. As a retired teacher, I can definitely say that seeing and hearing information beats reading a book for retention. This is a simple way to learn more abstract or difficult material.
