The Torre Attack: Move by Move – Palliser
This is a new series which provides an ideal platform to study chess openings. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practicing of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study any chess opening and at the same time improve your general chess skills and knowledge. The Torre Attack is a popular opening, especially at club level. White’s development plan is straightforward and there are clear tactical and strategic goals. Sometimes White plays quietly; on other occasions he suddenly launches a direct attack against Black’s king, and many quick victories arise because this unexpected aggression catches Black off guard. In this book, renowned opening expert Richard Palliser answers all the key questions and reveals everything you need to know about the opening.

Reviews
- “I like this book. It is good starting point for those who want a repertoire based on 1 d4 without having to study a lot of the critical lines in mainstream openings such as the Nimzo-Indian, Queen’s Indian or King’s Indian. My assessment of this book: ***** (out of 6)” – Carsten Hansen ChessCafe.com
- “I always expected to recommend this book, and I do so with pleasure.” – FM Jonathan Rogers British Chess Magazine
