Foreword
This chess book amazes me. Firstly it is not
annotated by a human, it is annotated by Houdini

Chess Engine. It has no recommendations or
contributions from any titled chess player. What

makes it relevant is the single fact that it was
made by a group of ordinary people who love
chess and want to play chess, share chess and

discover chess with like-minded people.
This breaks the rules but for all the right reasons.

Introduction
I make no secret about it. I love this guy Hikaru
Nakamura. He is an out and out attacker and makes no

excuses about it. I first saw his awesome powers of
attacking and calculation on the Internet Chess Club

where he beat allcomers in his own imitable style.
However he took his brand of ferocity onto the world
stage and made some experience Super Grandmasters

look ordinary.
This collection showcases some of his most inspiring

efforts at the board and is a fascinating journey into
the mind of one the worlds foremost attacking
players.

Big Trouble in Smallville

No matter how much theory progresses, how radically styles
change, chess play is inconceivable without tactics. - Samuel
