Queens Gambit Rook Sacrifice

I just finished an incredible game with an awesome rook sacrifice that is very instructional for Queens Gambit players.

It was only a 3|0 game but I felt like I learnt an incredible deal

1) Only commit to an attack once every piece is fully developed and you see a clear path to victory. Every piece in my attack played a key role and my attack in this case would have failed without them.

2) Swapping your queens bishop for the kings knight is very acceptable if you can make use of the h5 square for your knight, which is easy to swing across from b1-c3->e2->g3->h5. It is also great if you can make use of the b1-h7 diagonal as it is very difficult to defend the h7 square without the knight and g6 is too weakening.

3) If your opponent has played h6, forcing g6 allows rook sacrifices on e6 like the one in this game, this is particularly the case if black has fianchettoed his own light square bishop which is common with e6.

4) Getting your a1 rook to c1 as soon as possible allows you to drop your bishop from d3 to b1 if necessary.  

5) If you can create weakenesses around your opponents king with pieces alone, you won't necessarily have to waste tempo thrusting your pawns up the board to take advantage of it if you can make a sound sacrifice. 

The first 9 moves are book, and if you exclude the bd6-be7 tempo loss he caused himself the rest of his moves would transpose into some main lines. The tempo loss is obviously not optimal but it wasn't exactly a given.

still, I don't see how giving yourself an IQP is suppose to be instructional for Queen's Gambit players.

I mean the rook sacrifice isnt exactly difficult to find.

It is a culmination of every move before it, which is the entire point of what I am writing about.
After h6 kicking the bishop g6 is permeanently weakened, and if you force g6 through b1-h7 pressure saccing your rook on e6 blows the whole kingside apart. The knight on h5 assists which again is only possible because of h6 bxf6 bxf6.
If h6 wasn't played or the knight was still on f6 defending h7, the rook sac is not possible.  

That may be, but this is definitely a blitz game. I will say that much.

If you are not willing to listen to players 400 points stronger than you then I don't see how you can improve, best of luck to you.

haha... ok. I'll take my chances.

Thanks for your concern, but I'm sure to find a few hundred thousand far better than you!

Excellent game! and very instructive atleast formy level!!

name one instructive point you learned, and don't tell me its the h7-h6 weakness that leads to an attack.

The mystery awaits. How bout explain how a competent player would handle the IQP! That would be instructive. For sure

Is the point i learnt thanks for sharing.

yeah I learned that one about 15 years ago in my first chess book. Develop early. Big woop!

You could have told me that in not so many words and a chancy so called instructive blitz game

but i told it in my style.

if it works for your game. thats good. Just saying that I would discuss the principles of the opening in question. Not saying the game wasn't good, but please discuss why creating an isolated queens pawn is benificial. I read this book called My System by Aron Nimzowitsch. Really interested in what you have to say Vegan.

Black should really use the strategy of restraint and his/her pieces are all over the place.

I would listen to players that are 400-500 points stronger than me, as should you. That's how you improve. If you can't appreciate any of the themes or attacking ideas I have highlighted, of which there are several, then that's fine, move along please.
