Play online chess |  Subject: tactics for defeating castled kings
Message:
I need some tactics for defeating castled kings, I can deal with them in the middle of the board but not when they are castled. Some set pieces for breaking through the defending pieces would be good.
Cheers,
Convict@Large

Well its always different in variuos positions, and like tatics, you cant always define how you can carry them out. I suggest a very good book on the latter, The Art of Attack In Chess. A superb book which teaches you how to initate attacks against uncastled and castled kings, covering all sorts of different attacking situations such as kingside finachetto's etc

It's all in the endgame — Sanan Sjugirov of Russia was equal first at the world junior but lost on tie break. He played a couple of nice endgames, the first of which I will show today. Opposite coloured bishops can often give the endgame a drawish character, but here (see main illustration) White is effectively a king up. Can you see how he forced the win? Answer below. There was an English success at the World Chess Junior as Anya Corke scored 8.5/13 in the girls section. A Corke (2257) – C Forestier (2103). Dutch Defence ...
Mathematicians, Musicians and Chess Masters — Sunday’s chess column was about Noam Elkies, a Harvard mathematics professor who is also a music composer and chess player. Though Elkies is unusual at being talented in all three areas, he is not entirely unique. Through the years, there have been a number of strong chess players who were excellent mathematicians or musicians. A Web page called “Mathematics and Chess Page,” lists many strong chess players who were also mathematicians, including Adolf Anderssen, one of the best players of the 19th century; Emanuel Lasker, the second world champion; Max Euwe, the fifth world champion; and, among the more recent examples, John Nunn, an English chess grandmaster, who ...
Kamsky Wins Strong Chess Tournament in Azerbaijan — Gata Kamsky is enjoying a renaissance. A year ago, Kamsky seemed to be slipping. He lost a semifinal match for the world chess championship to Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria in early 2009. After that he had a few lackluster tournaments and his world ranking dropped to 41 from 18. His ranking has still not full recovered (he is No. 34 on the current list, which was released Wednesday), but his results have improved. Earlier this year, he won the United States Chess Championship for only the second time in his career. Last month, he won the Grenke Open at the Chess Classic in Mainz, Germany. He finished ahead of a world class field that included Levon Aronian of Armenia, Alexander Grischuk and ...
