You are smart advancing your pawns far in the ending. However White's 42 c3 helped you immensely. How would you try to win if White played 42 Kc4 ? For instance 42....... a2 43 Ra1, Rxc2+ 44 Kxb4 and White will dissolve the "a" pawn with Kb3 next.
dream square for pawn and pieces on an coordinate attack of the middlegame.
i would have them played for a draw. i was trying to get him panicked and make him make a mistake with his faulty endgame techniques. i was trying to be brave and gamble at the same time. This method certainly works for most 1600 daily rating players. But my original thread was created to discuss how to develop creativity, attacking skill, piece placement near the enemy king, pawn structure needed for the successful attack on the enemy king. This attacking chances certainly only going to happen only during the middlegame. This is the only skill i see other players perform on my rating level during the middlegame which i lack. The original point of the thread is to know how acquire this skill as soon as possible, so that there will be a jump in my personal chess knowledge.

In my own experiences, there was no secret way to prepare -- to all of a sudden gain many Rating points. What worked for me, was slow and steady. I read and analyzed many chess books and magazines. Also I played a great deal of chess. For many years, I was in the 1800s...........then all of a sudden I bust 2000 and kept going -- peaking in the low 2200s USCF.
i don't have any book collection, but i have a subscription to magnus trainer. Learnt a great deal from it.
I seem to end up giving the same speech about twice a week...
There is no point in playing for an attack unless you already have the advantage. The advantage is gained by maneuver. Attack is just a way (and not the only way) to convert an advantage from one form to another.
Tactics flow from a superior position. FIRST outmaneuver the opponent, to gain the advantage. THEN position your pieces for an attack. THEN look for combinations.

hey, blueemu, i found this nice article https://www.chess.com/article/view/the-art-of-maneuvering
It says there are three ways to maneuver:
1. it says, we first have to improve our worst piece to have a change in result of the game. It is like we have to improve and develop intellectually and financially our all backward communities in the socially, so that this global village can create more milestone in science and improve social problem,
2. we have to attack the opponent weakest spot. This method is used in break tough barrier. It is like we must give our lot in solving world-wide problem and hope it breaks the problem apart and bring out new discovery and invention.
I am just too sacred that i will failed in my mission to attack the opponent king during the middlegame. If i don't get the space advantage in the kingside when both sides cattle in the same side, how will i create problem near the enemy king? i need the support of pawn to create a wedge or brust open the opponent kingside. By the way you hide behind your own pawns to try create an attack, once the pawn go away.
Is there any other things we do in the middlegame game other than attacking the king if both sides don't have any weakness.

Attacking the King is not the be-all and end-all of chess.
In this game (I was playing Black), my opponent spent the WHOLE GAME attacking my King... and he lost, because he launched the attack prematurely, without first securing the advantage by maneuver.

if he had launched that attack on me, i would have been massacred. I simply don't stand a chance right now where i have been standing. But maybe it was easy. i only need have run away from his confrontation with his pieces with my king if i was you. Also, he is down a piece so the endgame would have been easy.
14. fxg7 loses a piece. Better would have been to take the Bishop since it is pinning your king.
He was probably in a hurry to finish the game.

Is there any other things we do in the middlegame game other than attacking the king if both sides don't have any weakness.
1) If you have a positional advantage you shouldn't fear what the opponent can do. Their attack shouldn't succeed, provided you play accurately, and your attack should be at least worth a draw. Your fear is in your own ability to find the correct moves.
2) Understand initiative. You dictate the response to the opponent. 9 out out of 10 players won't find the correct defensive moves and even if they can how can they attack if they're defending?
"Is there any other things we do in the middlegame game other than attacking the king if both sides don't have any weakness."
You would be be hard-pressed to find a position without any weakness. Regardless, this is what middle-game positional play is all about.
The king isn't the only weakness. Look to attack weak pawns (for example) then you have the option of bringing more pieces to attack the pawn OR using your superior mobility (obtained from the superior center, development, king safety [obtained from your superior opening position]) to swing to another target and continually swing until your opponent's position breaks down trying to defend more than he can.
If you absolutely can't find anything that's when positional play matters. That's when you start looking at things like bishops vs knights, pawn structure and what your endgame will look like.
...says the dude rated 800.
If you have some FACTS showing I'm wrong feel free to show them. Bottom line is what has a strong foundation in the logic of chess as well as the great masters of chess during the classical period (which is perfectly applicable to any class player)
If you would like I can point you in the direction of some REALLY strong players who say essentially the same things.
But I'm sure 800 rated guy knows more than world champions right?
he is just attacking you prematurely with no foundation.
What are dream square for pawn and pieces in the middlegame generally to attack the enemy king. This is the only thing lacking in my play to reach 1800 rating in daily chess. i rarely lose in the endgame as you see below at how i crushed my opponent in the endgame from an evenly middlegame position.
i am asking at how to artificially create danger near the enemy king.
