Crux Tactics II - Thumbs Up!

Submitted by Crux on Fri, 06/20/2008 at 4:56am.

As with my previous tactics, I won't show you the whole game here, only the important part. In this case we're dealing with opening tactics. No, not the Damiano Defense, but something closely related . Here it is:

Always watch out for these kinds of things in the opening, it's usually a bad idea to move the f-pawn because of these tactical maneuvers. Hope you liked it, until next time. (Don't ask about the name of the post, or the picture. I don't know)

There's nothing wrong with moving the f pawn in the opening, consider the Dutch Defence (1. d4 f5) or the Grand Prix Attack (1. e4 c5 f4). However, moving it to f6 in a double king pawn's opening is just useless and takes away the knight's best square. Your opponent fell for a common opening trap, well exploited.

on your games you have been showing what happens when the f pawn moves for black and has helped me a great deal. But what happens in common situations when they set up their pawns in a way to take out the commision of your light squared bishop??
