  1. Art of Planning (McDonald)
    The Art of Planning in Chess: Move by Move' by Neil McDonald. Compiled by Qindarka. I own this book and find it to be well written.
    31 games, 1945-2006

  2. Attacking Games
    79 games, 1837-2014

  3. Attacking games
    104 games, 1902-2017

  4. Attacking Manual Volume 1 - Basic Principles - A
    Games from Jacob Aagaard's Quality Chess Book The Attacking Manual 1-Basic Principles. These two books are his attempt to teach everything about Attacking Chess. Volume 1 is on Dynamics while Volume 2 is about tactics. His attempt to write a Vukovic type Art of Attack Book with clearer thinking/writing and modern ideas. This is a working book and includes diagrams to study Stoyko style. Entertaining Annotations. Recommended!

    His Concepts by Chapters

    1) Bring All Your Toys to the Nursery-include all your pieces in your attack

    2) Don't Lose your Breath-Momentum

    3) Add Some Color to your Play -Colour Schemes

    4) Size Matters- Numbers over Size(material worth)

    5) Hit 'em where it hurts - attack the weakness point in your opponents position

    6) Chewing on Granite - attack the strongest point in your opponents position

    7) Evolution and Revolution -( build-fight-build-fight)

    Manual 1 speaks to Aagaard's ideas around Attacking the King with each chapter discussing an idea and illustrative games to support them. An introductory sample is found here

    also: The Chessgame link to the Volume 2 - collection Game Collection: Attacking Manual Volume 2- Aagaard

    Plus: Added to the end of this collection: These are positions with white having a one point a pawn on f6 and a fiancheto pawn structure by black.

    76 games, 1929-2008

  5. Attacking Manual Volume 2- Aagaard
    Aagaard meant this volume to be a followup to The Art of Attack but with modern games and clearer writing. A great book worthy of lengthy study.
    101 games, 1896-2009

  6. Benko Gambit-Tay's,Alterman's,Jacobs book & More
    I play the Benko Gambit as Black. Junior Tays Benko Gambit Move by Move book and the appropriate chapters in Alterman's Blacks Gambit Guide 1 and games from this site are my learning source.

    Some games in this collection are annotated in these books but most are similar to games in the books only for the earlier open lines. I like Junior Tay's chapter classifications and decided to match games to the order these variations appear in his book.

    I am sifting through Black wins with Kibitzing for additional games for this collection.

    I also added the games from Jacobs book . Thanks MicheleLiguori.

  10. Big Bucket of Chess Tactics- Deflection
    Big Bucket of Chess Tactics by Theme
    --I got a number of Chess Problem books and I find it interesting to matchup the Problem with the game. Mainly I am trying to only add games which I see listed in a book. There should be a good cross section with Puzzles/Games of the Day. Most likely this will be a slow build however I hope each will eventually have a big bucket of examples of each Theme.
