Attacking a wing

White’s left wing is weak. Too few pieces defend this side of the board. Black makes a plan to attack this wing.

1… 12 – 17!

White can’t protect his left wing by playing 32 – 27, because black plays 18 – 23!! 38 - 32 (check other moves yourself!) 23 – 29! 34 x 23 24 – 30 35 x 13 9 x 49 B+.

2.34 – 29 18 – 22!

X 20 14 x 25

Black’s plan is quite simple. He wants to bring a piece to square 12, to be able to change 22 – 27 32 x 21 17 x 26 and piece 26 will break through with a little help from the other pieces.

We will show this plan:

4.39 – 34 19 – 24

Patience is needed. If black hurries 4… 3 – 8? white has a shot: 5.32 – 27! 22 x 31 6.28 – 22 17 x 48 7.45 – 40 48 x 30 8.35 x 2 =. The = - sign means it will be a draw.

The 19 – 24 move threatens 25 – 30 34 x 25 24 – 29 33 x 24 22 x 44 so the next move is forced.

5.34 – 29 3 – 8!

X 20 25 x 14

7.45 – 40 8 – 12

8.40 – 34 22 – 27

X 21 17 x 26

10.38 – 32

Now an immediate 26 – 31 is punished by 32 – 27 31 x 22 28 x 8, so black has to get some

reinforcement (help).

10… 12 – 17!

11.32 – 27 is met by 17 – 21 12.27 – 22 21 – 27 13.22 x 31 26 x 37 with a breakthrough.

Otherwise black goes to king with 26 – 31 etc.

Isjimbaev – Tsjizjow

In this position tenfold world champion Tsjizjow attacks his opponent’s left wing. His attack appears to be unstoppable.

1… 27 - 32!

X 41

X 47 26 - 31

4.29 – 24 31 - 36

5.39 - 34 28 - 32

6.34 - 29 32 - 37

7.29 - 23 37 - 41

8.23 – 18 9 - 13!

X 20 41 - 46

10.47 - 41 46 x 30!

11.25 x 34 36 – 41

Because 12.20 – 14 is answered by 41 – 46 13.15 – 10 4 x 15 14.14 – 9 46 – 14! 15.9 x 20 15 x 24 with opposition, white surrendered.

Sometimes a sacrifice helps to create a way to king. In this case piece 24 is attacked very quickly by the sacrifice:

X 38

X 33

White will get a breakthrough at the right wing.

Whites pieces work together perfectly. All his pieces are making contact with each other. This is good. White attacks piece 24. If he plays 34 – 29 23 x 34 40 x 20 black can win back the lost piece with 19 – 23 28 x 19 13 x 15 =.

White can prepare the attack with a very strong move.

1.31 – 27!

Now black has difficulties finding a move! He can’t play 8 – 12 because white wins a piece with 34 – 29. If black plays 1… 11 – 17 the attack with 34 – 29 23 x 34 40 x 20 is winning now, because after 19 – 23 28 x 19 13 x 15 white plays 27 – 21! 16 x 27 32 x 23 +.

So black has to play 2 – 7 or 3 -9. In both cases 34 – 29 is winning.

1… 2 – 7

X 34

3.40 x 20 19 – 23

X 19 13 x 15

X 28

X 2

White waited to make the attack until black’s position was weakened and was rewarded for his patience.

(Diagram)

It seems that white can’t play 39 – 34 here, because of 24 – 29. But you have to see what happens next:

1.39 – 34!

If black plays 24 – 29 2.33 x 24 19 x 39 3.28 x 19 13 x 24 white replies 4.38 – 33! 39 x 28 5.32 x 14 +.

You have to consider if black can sacrifice a piece before playing 24 – 29. In this case both 16 – 21 and 26 – 31 fail.

1… 26 – 31 2.27 x 36!

24 – 29 is still not possible. White wins.

1.48 – 43!

White wants to attack piece 24. He threatens 34 – 29.

1… 10 – 15

X 34

X 20 15 x 24

4.39 – 34

Black can’t stop the next attack playing 18 – 23 because of 33 – 29 etc. nor can he play 19 – 23 because of a coup Philippe: 27 – 22 18 x 27 32 x 21 16 x 27 33 – 29 24 x 33 38 x 16.

That means that white plays 34 – 29 at the next move winning a piece after 24 – 30 35 x 24 19 x 30 29 – 23 18 x 29 33 x 35.

Scholma composed this example of a double sacrifice to get a winning attack at 24.

X 36

2.39 – 34 12 – 18

3.34 – 29 8 – 13

X 9 13 x 4

There as no other defense for black, but now white takes a nice shot.

X 29

Choice

X 1

In this example white attacks black’s right wing. Piece 21 is isolated from the rest of black’s pieces.

1.37 – 31!

Black can’t prevent the threat 31 – 26. 1… 21 – 26 is answered by 2.33 – 29! 24 x 22 3.27 x 9 26 x 28 4.9 – 3 8 – 13 5.3 – 9! etc. W+. Black also can’t use the sacrifice 1… 24 – 29 2.33 x 24 21 -26 to attack piece 31, for white has the answer 3.27 – 22! 26 x 37 4.32 x 41 23 x 32 5.27 – 22 18 x 27 6.24 x 2 and white wins the endgame.

If white attacks immediately 1.30 – 25? black plays the stick move 12 – 17 with a draw.

White won the game making a surprising sacrifice:

X 23

2.30 – 25!

What to do now? Black is obliged to move! After 2… 24 – 29 3.33 x 15 white is winning.

White forces a nice shot attacking piece 21:

1.28 – 22! 9 – 13

2.37 – 31! 21 – 26

X 17

X 45

X 5
