deeper_insight 13-Dec-15, 09:39	More salt on your fries....eat hardy,and die.... I have my "Sodium Attack"games in several other threads in this club,but I will begin to post my "harsh lesson" games here for the most part.The opening move Na3 for white or even Na6 (if playing the black side)is the origin of the words..."Sodium Attack",since NaCl is considered the symbol for "sodium"in chemistry.When I add the move Nh3 as white or Nh6 as black,this has a partial symbol of hydrogen in chemical terms...thus,those openings then become the..."Sodium/Hydrogen Attack games.Not even in Hiarcs is there an opening book move of 1.Na3 then Nh3 for move # 2,even transpositionally.So I call my opening by my own pet name,its not official.But lesson wise,it is my official whip!! Take this game below.My opponent is almost 1800 rated.But I have seen some 2200+rated make the same opening errors,at least in blitz.Longer time controls,maybe not.But that is another issue: [Event "GameKnot Blitz"] [Site gameknot.com/"] [Date "2015.12.13"] [Round "-"]5 min,zero increment. [White "chesplyr"]1780 [Black "tactical-abyss"]2370 [Result "0-1"] 1. d4 Nh6 2. Bxh6 gxh6 3. e4 Na6 4. Bxa6 bxa6 5. Nc3 Rb8 6. Rb1 Bg7 7. Nf3 d6 8. O-O Bg4 9. Qd3 Bxf3 10. Qxf3 Bxd4 11. Rfd1 Be5 12.

Kf1 Bxa7 0-1 chesstempo.com Again,no need to finely annotate each move here,I'll let you do that if you want by placing it in the viewer above.Why is it so important for my chess adversaries to take those Knights of mine on squares a3 and h3 as white or squares a6 and h6 as black??They do it all the time like a cliche'.Are they thinking that they are weakening my pawn structure by forcing doubled pawns on the a and h files?If so,then my adversaries way of thinking lacks some basic chess theory.Let me ask you:What has more theoretical value in an open game...the Knight or the Bishop?Is the opening game closed above by move # 4?No,it is not closed.So,exchanging your Bishop(s)in yet,an open game is not theoretically sound.Is doubling of my pawns in the opening creating weakness?No it is not.Perhaps later in the game or creating doubled pawns in the center of the board by mid or endgame,it forces weakness...but not in the opening!Is it creating open files for my Rooks to compensate for any slight pawn weakness in the opening?You bet!You are actually providing me with more positional strength,not weakness,by taking those Knights of mine...either one or both,does not matter. Yet,time and time again,players love to take both of my Knights by move #4.The result?Total destruction,even to 2400 rated players!But if a 2300-2400 player took those Knights in my weird opening,i'd be a bit surprised because they should know better.I have had this happen,and yes,they were destroyed as well.Perhaps they were just experimenting,who knows. Notice,by move 13 the file control already in the works by my black Rooks.Then notice how white thinks he is in control later on by attempting to come behind my forces and checking my King on my first rank and feeble attempts to capture my pawns?Then finally notice my poisoned pawn on a7.White takes the bait and forces an "absolute skewer"on himself.I just call it an ex-ray attack on whites King.I take his Rook and the game is over...opponent resigns in only 27 moves.Ok,say white would NOT have taken my poisoned pawn?He was still down one pawn at that juncture and still would have lost in the end,I promise.Trust me on that. How to avoid most if not all of this? Stop taking those Knights of mine by move #4!!!!They are deadly poison in the right hands.And my "hands"are as tuned in to the chess symphony as Mozarts Requiem in D minor. But that "mass of the dead"is for you,not me,if you take those Knights!!! Kapish?

deeper_insight 17-Jan-17, 18:20	The rail files of death.... In normal games,the Knights on the edge files are weaker in point value due to the forced limitation of their movement potential,with some exceptions of course.But who wants a normal game?Not me!And never in the Sodium/Hydrogen Attack games!!!!That would be a sin to desecrate this irregular game with normalcy,since it is twisted out of the "normal"shape from moves 1 and 2 for white already! The following game is a good example of how one of my Knights can spring into action like a Ninja on a rampage.And the other Knight which never even moved on h3 became a skewer against blacks Q sending her in the central kill zone as the other Knight on a3 springs suddenly to c4.The drama was too much for this player who never was dazzled before on this level.The shock and awe would blind any player south of 1500 in rating,let alone this 1200 player.It proves that ones field of view is sometimes limited when concentrating on the board center or trying to play overly offensive with your Q in the opening! This short game was over almost before it began.....10 moves!!!!!Sure,the game was still playable,but I had just won two other times shortly before this game in the 5 min GK blitz room. So my opponent threw in the towel...probably with beads of sweat on his forehead. The Knights on the flank files can be truly deceiving!They can spring into sudden action just sitting there for a while looking innocent,dormant and weak.Little does my opponents know that I have used the sodium attack games for decades and have "perfected"the opening to instantly respond to ANY move in the first 20 moves that black can muster up.I'm not even quite sure a GM would positively destroy me in a sodium...maybe draw,yes,but lose?Not so sure.Why do I say this,am I that overconfident or stupid?No.But I have studied this irregular in extreme detail playing against the most powerful chess programs in the world and those programs never defeated me,but their were a few draws.And the strongest programs in the world are more powerful than an GM in rating today.Just check the ELO ratings if you disbelieve this and compare Komodo or Stockfish to the world champions rating.Need I say anything more?I'm overconfidentwith such a silly weak opening????.....ahhhhhh....no. So enjoy this little lesson with side flank Knights sitting on that fence.
