♕ 4 principles to successfully attack a central king – https://goo.gl/8nqRGm

There is a chess quote by Rob Sillars, which goes “Castle early and often”. Indeed, we know that castling our king is one of the most important basic opening rules. But, what happens if you don’t castle your king? Today we’re going to see how to successfully build up an attack against a king in the center, a king that’s not been castled.

Today our new guest coach IM Mateusz Kolosowski will provide you with some guidance and insights on how you can use very simple principles in order to make sure that your attack against a central king is successful. 🙂

In his instructive video lesson, he analyzes a classical game played by the former world champion Boris Spaskky and will show you how you can very quickly and easily construct a successful attack when you know certain principles.
