Attacking against the king

Sort:

Dear Chess Friends,

I played a really interesting attacking OTB game exactly 18 years ago. Due to this anniversary, I created a video about it, starting with the critical middlegame position. Here is the link to that: https://www.patreon.com/posts/game-analysis-116572958?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

The main topics what you can learn from this video:

   - The importance of king safety

   - Attacking against a long-castled king (opening files, eliminating the defenders)

   - Using the opponent's pawn as a shield in front of our king

   - Tactical motives (pin, discovered attack, trapping the queen, fork/double attack, skewer)

I hope you'll enjoy the video and find it instructive. 

Kind regards,

Gabor
