When I was new to chess there wasn't anyone I knew who played, there also wasn't a great website like this. So sometimes I like to try and organize some information in hopes someone finds it useful, it's the next best thing to sending messages back in time to myself
Anyway, maybe someone here can give me feedback on if this blog post is any good... I thought it might be interesting and helpful to point out how some successful attacks involve stacking up pieces on the h file. But maybe the examples are too dissimilar? Maybe it's not good for a different reason? (When I was new attacks were always super mysterious, some GM would sac a piece and write "and of course black wins now" and I'd have no idea why).

This reminds me of a GSerper post, the upshot of which was that it is often at least okay to give up a few pawns to get open files towards your opponents king. Good examples, not too disconnected.
