Breaking Through the Castle...Advanced

A seemingly well-covered king can still be attacked when there is a large attacking force. In particular, a "rook lift" is a dangerous method of attack against the castled king.

When to Attack

"When to attack?" Generally you should attack when you have an advantage on some part of the board - especially if it is a temporary advantage.

Seizing the Moment

"Carpe Diem" is applicable to chess. In many positions, if you don't use your chance when it arises, you will lose it.

Prophylactic Thinking 101

"Prophylactic" thinking means preventative thinking. It means that you think from your opponent's point of view, and try to prevent what he is planning. Thinking in chess involves two aspects: your plans, ideas, and threats; and the plans, ideas, and threats of your opponent. However, many players neglect the second aspect.

Defensive Sacrifice

While material is important in chess, there are many positions where there are more important goals which require the sacrifice of material to achieve. This is not limited to positions where you are attacking your opponent's king - in some cases you might need to give up material for defensive purposes.

Killing the Target

The words "if only..." are a frequent way that a chess master begins to formulate a combination. "If only I could get my queen to this square"; "If only I could make this piece move away"...If you see an "if only" on the chess board, look for a way to make it a reality. There won't always be a way, but sometimes there will.

Reinforcing Your Attack and Defense

Sometimes the pieces you have available for your attack (or defense) are insufficient. In that case, you need to bring up new pieces. Calculation will tell whether the time involved is too high a price.
