ok to attack the black king, we mean to bring maximum hit. 🔥🔥🔥
we also have a knight on e5 which is attacked. should we move our knight ? thats' our first intuition. but GM Navara decided to bring another piece into the attack.
and just like Hikaru, we will use arrows. Here's the visual solution
The knight on d2 comes to e4. Ne4! is what White played. This brings more fuel to the attack.
But what if Black takes the knight on e5. Follow the arrow is my simple answer. Indeed Qxe6+ and White has a strong attack.
Now you can replay how the game finished
.
II. What if Kings are on the opposite side ?
simply put its a race. Each side usually tries to attack and the first one wins.
The game I will show starts in the SICILIAN NAJDORF
ok so who are the players ? top #GM level
yes Magnus Carlsen attacks with white against Hikaru Nakamura in 2011 !
@magnuscarlsen vs @hikarunakamura over the board, before the chesscom era.
lets see a few moves later
Carlsen is launching his pawns with his last move h2-h4. Next moves he will his king to safety queenside. the exact moves are not so important.
Position after 16 Kb1
and now we will soon the key position, White to Play. Remember, speed is of the essence
