Bomb Out Your Enemy King Out Of The Board!
The content of this blog will demonstrate how to destroy the enemy's kingside without fearing the pieces of black & white.Introduction
First of all, before looking into the content, let's step closer and analyze a few questions which we are struggling with after losing from an attacking fight-fight game with a higher-rated player.
- He was left uncastled; could I have done something about it? (Yikes, that attack! Oh, why did I hide under that big fat pig without chasing it?)
- Could I have/have not played that sacrifice? (Oh, I missed it, that sac, I should have done it; I saw it, but, ugh.../What the ****, why did I do it? I just lost more than ever!)
- Was my attack strong enough? (What! I left that whole piece all alone in that corner, & I didn't even notice it? I should have brought him out...)
Do you come up with such problematic situations? Passive work, plus defensive moves instead of a fierce attack? If so, let's analyze & watch a few games, which of course will help you to understand by yourself what potential is secretly hiding behind your own 16 pieces.
01. Attack the Uncastled King
You might hesitate, thinking a passive play would do better when your opponent's king stands at the middle of the board after you have castled. But the truth is, take this precious chance. Don't miss it, because that's the perfect one waiting just for you in your doorway.
in such situations, a few cases must be in your mind.
- Do not let your opponent castle. (Block files, ranks and diagonals)
- Do not let your enemy king run for safety. (Avoid these anytime; sacrifices are very effective.)
- Keep your king safely castled in the meantime.
02. Flush out the Enemy King
In this we will see how great sacrifices will bring you big results. In your class or self-studying occasions, you might find such solutions in your analyzing games. But does the same go in your OTB tournaments? Most of the time, I guess not, cause, you might be afraid to get it wrong. But that will not help you to improve your level after all... Don't fear your own strengths; use them at the right time & at the right place.
03. Strike while the Iron is Hot
In this last point, we are going to look into a game where most of the pieces are going for the enemy king. Not less than 20 moves; the game ends with a complete destruction of the black's kingside. Imagine a real war; they are fighting for their own sake and lives, but in here, why are you worrying about playing the bombastic move? Why worry? You lose nothing! Just keep your self-confidence at a higher rate & keep looking for tactics, plus the win.
Conclusion
Overall, this context walked through a warzone between the board and your own mind, which I am glad to say will help to secure the win of your next games. In conclusion, I'd like to end this with:
Risk more, Earn more!
