Javier Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm starting a new series of chess articles about chess blunders (and mistakes) from the 20th century (which sounds so distant now!) I'll begin with the following book position, where the capture of the pawn on h4 (after white's h4) doesn't seem like such a bad move... White here plays h4!?, an interesting move whose purpose is to weaken black's pawn structure on the Kingside by means of h5. Is taking that pawn with ...Bxh4 really that bad? well, you tell me!! (solution: normally within the next 48 hours). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamine Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 it's not so bad because whit can develop an attack on the kingside by the move g3 to open the h transversal and control it with the rook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 White has something much better than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
