Art of the Attack : Dubov's masterpiece June 2020

Sort:
thechesscorner64

I will showcase here a recent game by Dubov who demonstrates a classic attacking theme.

1) Wait for Black to commit to castle, and do not castle 

2) Activate Rooks via Rook Over, or ROver. Ra3-g3, or Rh3-g3. 

3) Increase pressure around opponent's kings using knights and bishops.

The game is Daniil Dubov versus Vladislav Artemiev rapid chessable Group A

The annotations explain how the attack is done at what is arguably top level chess.  Feel free to reuse in your own games !

Comments welcome.

nice game. Very unique, I have not seen this type of rook lift in a game in the slav defense so this is new to me. It was also very interesting that black wasn't able to get too much counterplay
