Opening Lines (not to be confused with pick up lines at a bar). If there is one fundamental aspect to attacking the enemy King, it's creating open lines for your pieces.

 

I reached the following position on the White side of an Austrian attack against the Pirc.

 

 
I couldn't help but play what I thought was an interesting move to at least open lines, with 10. f5!?
 
After my opponent replied 10. ... Nc6 the naturally 11. e6 is diabolical to Black's Kingside.
