.We call them typical combinations because they occurfrequently.Learning them will help you become a strong chessplayer.Ifthe patterns of these combinations becomes familiar, you will not let theopportunity for a winning and striking combination slip through yourfingers.The Sacrifice on f7All chessplayers know that in the opening the f7-square is the weakestpoint in Black s camp; therefore, catastrophes are possible on this weaksquare.However, both in the opening and in the middlegame evenexperienced masters sometimes overlook the f7 blows.The combinationsagainst f7 in chess practice are quite diverse, but most of them have onething in common: White s light-squared bishop plays an important role.In our first example, White has an overwhelming advantage and he bringshis White-squared bishop into play.156.

Kxf73.Nxc5 Bxc54.Bxc5 Kf65.Rxd8 Qxd86.f4And White has a winning position.In this example the sacrifice on f7 was the simplest method of exploiting abig positional advantage.157. Diagram 152Inkiov  Liverosh, Sofia 1985White to moveThe following Bxf7 combination draws the Black king from behind itsprotective cover and leads to the win of material or checkmate.1.Bxf7+! Kxf72.Qxh7Threatening to win a third pawn for the piece by Bxg7.2.& Qh63.Qf5+ Kg84.Rg6! Qd2On 4.& Qh7 White plays 5.Qe6+ and 6.Rh6.5.Qe6+ Kh7158. 6.Rg4! Rc4This does not help.7.e4!Black resigned.Diagram 153Instructive ExampleWhite to move1.Bxf7+! Black resignsOn 1.& Rxf7 2.Qxf7+! Kxf7 3.Be5+ and the discovered check wins,since after the check is repulsed White plays 4.Bxb2 with a decisiveadvantage.And if Black does not capture the bishop, but plays 1.& Kh8instead, then 2.Bg6 h6 3.Bxh6 wins.159. Diagram 154Mecking  Tan, Petropolis 1973White to moveThe Brazilian grandmaster pulled off a stunning coup involving thedestructive sacrifice at f7.1.Bxf7+!An excellent example of the bishop sacrifice.1.& Kxf72.Rxc7+!Decoy!2.& Qxc73.Qh7+ Kf64.Qxc7160. White has a decisive advantage and won quickly.Diagram 155Tarrasch  Holzhausen, Germany 1906White to moveWhite carries out an original combination where first a bishop, and then aknight, are sacrificed.1.Bxf7+! Kxf72.Ne6! Black resignsMate in two follows 2.& Kxe6? by 3.Qd5+ Kf6 4.Qf5 mate, otherwiseWhite wins the queen.Sacrificing a Bishop at h7In the ancient Polerio manuscript we find the following position:161. Diagram 156White to moveAfter 1.Bxh7+ Kxh7 2.Ng5+ Kg8 3.Qh5 Bxg5 4.hxg5 f5 5.g6 or 2.&Bxg5 3.hxg5+ Kg6 4.Qh5+ Kf5 5.g6+ Black is mated; and after 2.&Kg6 3.h5+ Kh6 4.Nxf7 wins the queen.The main participants here are the bishop, which attacks h7 from its postat d3, the queen on d1 which uses the diagonal to transfer to the h-file, andthe knight on f3 which leaps to g5 with check.One of the most importantparts of the combination is the White pawn at e5.Since the Black bishopat e7 guards the g5-square, the combination only succeeds because of thepawn at h4 backed up by the rook at h1.Let s consider another example.Romanovsky-Belov, USSR 1929162. 1.e4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.e5 Nfd7 4.d4 c5 5.dxc5 e6 6.Nf3 Bxc5 7.Bd3Nc6 8.Bf4 Qb6?An error, since Black s development is not sufficient to allow suchexcursions.9.0-0 Qxb2 10.Nb5! 0-0 11.Rb1 Qxa2Diagram 157Now a typical combination follows:12.Bxh7+ Kxh713.Ng5+ Kg613.& Kg8 leads to a quick mate.14.Qd3+ f515.Qg3163.

Diagram 159Negra  Kreculescu, Bucharest 1957White to moveNow that the knight on f6 has been exchanged, White unleashes thethematic combination:1.Bxh7+!! Kxh72.Ne5! Black resignsThere is a little twist here.The knight headed to e5, instead of g5.But themain idea is the same  the clearing of paths for the heavy artillery.165. Diagram 160Lilienthal  Najdorf, Stockholm 1952White to moveEven brief analysis of this position shows us why the Bxh7+ sacrifice islikely to succeed:1.The unfortunate placement of the Black forces, where they cannotcome to the king s defense.2.The possibility to bring White s rooks quickly into the attack.3.The Black king cannot find shelter on the opposite side of theboard.4.White s pieces are better coordinated.It is true that Black alreadyhas two minor pieces for the rook, but this is hardly an asset whenthe pieces are so poorly stationed.Such evaluations are important when investigating the secrets of tacticalplay that are hidden in such positions.Keep in mind that the value ofpieces is a relative matter, and that at any given moment an active rookmay be superior to two passive minor pieces.Sometimes, it is evenstronger than three minor pieces!166. 1.Bxh7+!This sacrifice destroys the remaining elements of the Black king sprotection and allows White to bring additional forces to deliver theterminal blow.1 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
