Castling Kingside into a barrage setup can lead to awesome attacks
Sort:
that´s indeed awesome!
That has happened to me when playing with the black pieces. I think people sometimes concentrate so much on defending the center that they lose sight of the flank attacks.
As white (in my blitz games) as of late. I've been opening with 1. e4 ...2. c4....3.d3
Not really even paying attention to my opponents opening (Sicilian, Caro khan, or Kings Pawn) as I just want to get this position set up. My overall plan is to try to get my opponent to castle Kingside and then start moving my pawns up the board. It has backfired quite a number of times, but it really seems to cause a lot of problems and is tactically rich with opportunity.
I've had some great mates with this strategy. Here is a recent game where I employed this strategy.
