In this DVD, the 80th in the Empire Chess series, Grandmaster Damian Lemos focuses on teaching you certain tactical combinations that bring about forced mate or gaining material. He uses 4 Super-GM games as a point of reference and analyzes them in order to explain how a grandmaster combines. If you want to dominate attacking technique and killer combinations, you should watch these videos.
In order to dive into tactics, it is not enough to be familiar with the basic elements to perform a combination. It is also necessary to have the technique in order to be able to make a precise calculation, in which the player encounters the relevant moves and analyzes the variations and sub-variations that arise in each of them, in order to choose the correct one. It is important to have ample knowledge of tactics in order to be able to orient yourself correctly in each position, and to make the correct moves in a specific combination. Lemos wants you to think like a grandmaster and be able to find powerful moves in the tactical positions that are presented to you.
In this video, you will see a game between GMs Markovic and Drasko in a Winawer Variation of the French Defense. White employs an interesting plan with h4-h5 attempting to gain space on the kingside. A similar plan is seen in Caro-Kann.
Both players castled on the kingside. The white bishops on d3 and e3 were more active and threatening towards the black castling. Black had to play with c4 and then f6; a typical breakthrough in the French Defense but they did not and White broke the center with c4 and sacrificed a pawn in order to get two strong central pawns on d4 and e5. This rook maneuver is very effective and important to remember when attacking. The excellent idea Qc1 should be highlighted, aiming for the sacrifice Bxh6 that proved to be winning for White, destroying Black’s castling and moving their pieces in order to continue the attack with moves like Ng5, Rae1-Re3-Rg3. The final flourish was the fantastic obstruction move e6!, clearing the square e5 or h6 for the white queen with an unstoppable mate. A great attacking game from White destroying the enemy king!
