OVERLOADED: THREATS AGAINST INFERIOR PIECES, PAWNS

Sharma vs Shirov Ottawa Simul 2010

15 ... Rh8-g8?? <OVERLOADED> the Black e7-knight.

16 Bg2xNc6+ <overloaded: c6,g8>

The Black e7-knight is now <OVERLOADED>, having to <PROTECT> both the Black c6-knight from the White g2-bishop *and* the Black g8-rook from the White g7-queen.

A *great* example of the <AVERBAKH RULE: YOU'RE NOT ATTACKING ME, I'M ATTACKING YOU BECAUSE IT'S MY TURN!!>
