Mating the Castled King Summary

Mating the Castled King by Danny Gormally

Every chess player loves to win with a devastating attack. But even beginners know the importance of early castling, so the most significant attacking strategies are those against a castled king. Danny Gormally sheds light on this vital area of the game, arguing that pattern recognition is key to improvement. This book strips away the mystique surrounding successful attacking play, and identifies several recurring motifs which can be applied to specific pawn structures and scenarios. Well-chosen model examples and test positions are complemented by the author's lively writing style and original terminology. Clobber your opponents with motifs such as the "Shotgun" and the "Tower of Terror"!

Mating the Castled King Reviews

"The exercises are not too difficult and the explanations are pitched at a very good level just enough variations to make sense of the position, but not too many to make your eyes glaze over. Gormally writes in a very entertaining and picturesque manner: I will never again be able to look at a white pawn on g6 without thinking of the Tower of Terror'!" -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess


"I've been waiting a long time for a book like this. A beautiful and neatly structured collection of motifs and ideas on attacking play.

I give it an unlimited recommendation for players of any strength." -- Lukas Wedrychowski
