Again, taking the d4 pawn would entail moving d-rook, and that is a no no, so he retreats. |

With this move I opened g-rook attack on his strong g-Knight. I am ready to sacrifice my rook to take that Knight out if needed. |

White here finally resigns.
The game wonderfully exemplified the importance of calculated sacrifice, for the sake of positional advantage. Once that King castles, always look for the opportunity to attack the pawn wall. Taking some hits and sacrifices for the sake of reorganizing your strong pieces in front of the helpless King can be much more valuable then the material advantage gained by your opponent.
One more important thing is to make sure when attacking with the Q to have enough pieces accompanying the attack. I almost learned the hard way, as Q got into action a bit too early and I had to import accompanying pieces later on in hope he won't be able to bring the defense back in time. Had he not took so much moves attacking he might have been able to defend my attack. |
