This DVD builds on the first DVD which had emphasis on basic and advanced concepts of attacking the King and the many factors leading up to the attacking possibility.

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 Kotov-Bondarevsky:

1. Strong Centre
2. 5…Bd6 is better than 5…Be7
3. White Manoeuvres with the Knight are explained versus The Dutch
4. Pawn Storms in Closed Positions — when to play them
5. Setting up Discovered Check at the cost of a Rook
6. Capturing supporting Pawns and the consequences
7. Brilliant ‘King Hunts’
