In French: "L'exception qui confirme la règle". i'll save you the time to sek a traduction: "the  exception that verifies the rule".

Anyway here it is okay to push your kingside pawns because the consequent weakness cannot be eploited by black bishops. Black's pieces are cut off, and the attack is swift enough to wipe out the opponent's kingside with the advantage of the initiative. Be careful now because maybe black could have found more precise defencive moves that could have thrown you off if you had run head first without taking the time of strengthening you position. What I mean is that usually when kingside pawns are pushed there is always a possibility of being counter-attacked.

I have a game that's coming to a close currently which is another example of advancing all of the pawns.  It's my game with Dlamini.
