This first DVD of the new series has emphasis on basic and advanced concepts of ‘attacking the King’ and the many factors leading up to the attacking possibility. Before the attack commences there is explanations of how it happens, this is done by examining a theoretical opening, followed by examination of the middle game skills that enabled the attacking possibility, followed by how the attack is correctly conducted.

In this long exclusive excerpt of the Attack DVD from ‘The Club Player’s Manifesto’ By GM Damian Lemos we see the Grandmaster clearly explain the following points from the game Ortueta-Sanz:

1. The importance of advanced Passed Pawns
2. Major piece sacrifices if a Queen is guaranteed
3. Difficulties for pieces preventing Pawns from Queening
4. Composure in finding solutions to problems
5. Searching deeper to find the correct solution
