Thanks for the kind words.
Yes. I used to teach at chess clubs in the Canadian Maritimes. One of my students passed 2430 FIDE (in over-the-board classical time controls, not online).
I played Mikhail Tal to a draw in a simultaneous display back in Saint John in 1988... although of course I cannot prove that claim. He was in the top ten at the time, and had just won the World Blitz Championship two days before.
One rule of thumb is that a successful attack requires three more pieces than the opponent has available for defense. Too often, lower-rated players try to attack with only two pieces (such as the Scholar’s Mate). The defender can easily repel such premature attacks and the attacker loses time when he has to retreat.
Signs that you may have an attack include open lines (files, diagonals) and weak squares around the opponent’s king.
In the game you showed, you have the makings of an attack—four pieces aimed at his king, a half-open file, and weakened squares around the king. He has a bishop and a knight for defense. But you can sac a rook for the knight, which removes one defender and opens the b-file for your other rook.
You started by offering to exchange bishops. No need to remove that defender. If you open the b-file and move your other rook to b1, his bishop is more of a target than a defender.
Finally some one understand what the Mindless_revengeance asking, and your posts is amazing! You be must teacher or something, and you show you have deep understanding of the game and you explains simple and understanding. Thank you!!!
Agreed, that was one of the better posts I've seen on this forum. Solid advice blueemu.
