Hi all,

There's about a dozen tactical themes; what is your favorite to deploy?

My favourite tactic is a sacrifice near a castled king, and then a flurry of attacks ending in mate.

One I like to use is a to play a boring game with no complications and wait for my opponent to make an error.

 Hi Sheep,

I don't think what you're describing is a tactic but a strategy, but I love it!

i like pawn storming and castling opposite sides to do this or not castling at all which has gotten me into big trouble on occasion

The double attack. It's the basic form of many different tactics.
