the best defense, the worst surprise, and the only move that decides nothing alone

means To set upon someone or something with violent or aggressive force, whether with fists, armies, words, or ideas.

from From the French 'attaquer,' which came from Italian 'attaccare,' meaning 'to join, attach, or engage' — the same root that gives us 'attach.' The idea was of fastening onto an enemy, joining battle by latching on. So 'attack' and 'attach' are siblings: one clings in love, the other in war.
