Attack!

Okay... so here is a picture of my chess board. This is the pawn structure that I'm going to try and use tonight when I play chess against the computer that keeps beating me.

So... an explanation of the rationale behind this pawn structure.

My first objective here is to allow the King plenty of room to move. This should make it more difficult to trap him and provide plenty of escape routes should my opponent get me in check.

My second objective here is how I plan to attack... at least initially. My main weapons here are my bishops. When moving these characters, you must pay close attention to what colour squares they move on... as they move diagonally, they will remain on the same colour for the duration of the game. To explain this, I will only discuss the right-sided bishop in the picture (although the tactics I'm going to employ should work for the other bishop in the same way (but mirrored).

I intend to attack to the left with my bishop from the right. The three pawns in front of him provide a guard so that he can't be attacked from the right... thus he can attack the other side of the board in two moves.

I'm going to head over to chess.com right now to see if this works!
