Here is something I have been looking at recently.
Its more of a fundamental concept than a tactic or opening theory.
Its referred to as 'Bridge Building' and I think it is an extremely important weapon to have in one's arsenal.

After I got the first move, I was able to do the rest. I remember seeing this as a Rubinstein endgame puzzle. I agree with you 100% when you say that is an important weapon; I've drawn games in similar situations.
You will think I'm nuts for posting this, but I was watching a friend of mine kill a long line of people in live chess with it.
I have no idea if the opening actually has a name or not.
I was jokingly calling it the Namakaze Attack (based on the guys name).
Perhaps it was the blitz element, (2/0 and 3/0) but it proved to be a very difficult nut to crack.
I was just wondering if there were any "new" ideas out there from the people in RA. By ideas, I mean interesting mating patterns, endgame maneuvers, or opening ideas. By "new", I mean ideas that were obtained through home analysis. Yes, I know that most of what will be posted here may not turn out to actually be new, but you don't know what might turn up. I also know that many people may be afraid to contribute because they worry that their ideas will be ridiculed. To that I say, for one, that we don't "ridicule": we offer constructive and helpful criticism. And two, there is no other way to learn than be proved wrong.
So, if you have any ideas that intrigue you, I ask you to contribute to this forum.
