As a “thank you” for participation, you will get the summary of top three RCA lessons of 2016 for FREE!  Take the survey now.

Note: this is the FINAL reminder for you – this survey will be closed tomorrow (19th). So don’t miss to tell us what you need!

In the previous article, we discussed about 5 biggest problems in attack and how to solve them. Today we’ll move forward to the next important thing about attack in chess – the basic conditions for a successful attack.

One of the frequently asked questions by the chess players, after ‘deciding’ the target for the attack is: (WHERE), “WHEN should I attack?”. Later, they face another problem – “HOW should I attack?”. Additionally, there are some other important factors you should take into the account when attacking. Today our guest coach CM Charles Campbell will explain to you these factors and conditions in details.  In his instructive video lesson, you’ll learn about the following:

Active/passive pieces

 Pawn islands

 Pawn storm (connected pawns)

 How pawn structure determines a successful attack?

 Using the open files effectively

 Weak pawns

 Weak squares

 And lots more…
