ATTACK - MINORITY ATTACK
“Madame Elisabeth”, Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun
01 French: attaque. German: angriff. Italian: attacco.
Spanish: ataque.
02 GM, Julian Hodgson has written
a book ‘Attack with Julian Hodgson’.
His idea is based on Shogi (Japanese chess) where checkmate attacks are all that count. In
this book he gives attack statistics for all crucial positions and has
developed a point count method enabling readers to assess the weight of pieces both in defence and offence, and to calculate the likely chances of success after a sacrifice. This book may be ordered
from: 132 Purves Road, London NW10 5TG, England.
To set upon with force or
weapons - begin hostilities against - an offensive military operation with the
aim of overcoming the enemy and destroying the armed forces and will to
resist. An active threat on your
opponents MPs/mps. This may be a single move or a series of moves lasting for a considerable part of the game. A short attack is called a ‘threat’.
Minority Attack: an attack of
:A mps against a majority of :B mps with the objective of creating a weakness in :B position.
Link: Attacking with closed centre
A
threat against an enemy piece. Attack:
To move with a threat e.g. so that an opponent’s piece may be taken; more
generally, to move pieces towards e.g. the king’s side in the hope of mate. Also used
to describe some opening
systems initiated by :A, e.g. King’s Indian
Attack. To play an aggressive move, or
series of moves in a particular area of the board. Attacks often include threatening to take a piece or threatening
checkmate so the opponent is forced to react.
Attacking
Moves: moves that my opponent seems to make much more frequently than I
do!
Attack
01) A situation in which a piece could capture an enemy MP/mp - after…….
01A-PA5-E02/E04
01B-PA4-E07/E05
02A-QU1-D01/H05,
the White A-QU1 attacks the PAs on E05, F07 and H07. The word is also sometimes used in the
same sense as threat.
02) A plan of campaign against a specific
target: we may talk of a kingside attack, a queenside attack and so on.
