Welcome to Part 2 of Advantages of having the IQP!
Now, before we get started, if you have read the book "Winning Pawn Structures" by Alexander Baburin, you may know what most of this is. The book is highly instructive about how strong the IQP can be.
Now in this series, I don't want to spoil the whole book, but I might give 1 or two of his examples, and then maybe another example if I can find one :)
Now, the book has 7 chapters but I have a feeling I might have skipped one and now I can't find it :( Luckily I put all of the examples in my database so I have some examples for you.
Now, his 9 chapters are:
1. d4-d5 breakthrough
2. Attacking f7
3. Rook Lift
4. Bishop sac on h6
5. h-pawn battering ram
6. Queenside activity
7. Play on the e-file
Now, his first chapter is by far his most instructive, which is the "d4-d5 breakthrough" I tend to find the earlier chapters in the book more instructive. Don't know exactly why.
Anyway, lets get down to business with his first example:
After I read this, I just wanted to keep reading!
Then I glued my hands on the book after a few more examples:
I hope you enjoyed this as much as I have! I'll see you next time!
