Gallagher Joseph G. 101 Attacking Ideas in Chess: Aggressive Concepts from a Grandmaster's Arsenal

Gambit Publications, 2000. — 128 p. — ISBN13: 978-1901983203.It's an idea book for someone with little time, or someone on the move (say, on a train to work). It gives you 101 ideas, mostly one page long but sometimes two, with so many diagrams that you don't need a board to follow the lines. Actually I should write Ideas, as they definitely deserve a capital letter!First example is the back ranker. From the 'contents' page this might seem a mundane example, but wow would you be wrong if you thought that. The very first demo is a fireworks display. It's hard to forget an Idea after such a spectacular demonstration! Gallagher's enthusiasm for vicious attacking positions is infectious! Imagine yourself playing out a combination that leaves a huge smile on your face - this is definitely good for you, though it's probably best for your opponent if he/she is playing you on the Internet from very far away!
